Review
This is a fantastic Young Adult Novel that really captures the spirit and struggles of a teenager. There is a lot going on in Lillie's life and a lot she has to overcome and deal with. I think the way that Kristen Otte has written this novel has really made the reader find the main character compelling. You will feel for her throughout her journey and route for her to find her way. The pacing was spot on and I enjoyed the writing style as well.
