I think by bringing up important issues and even if they are touchy you might just get young adults talking and hopefully helping them through rough moments in life. Great review, Melody. I was really looking forward to reading your thoughts on this one.Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-6975140512635280412010-09-24T08:18:42.582+08:002010-09-24T08:18:42.582+08:00Wow--sounds like a book with some really heavy gra...Wow--sounds like a book with some really heavy gray lines--and I like when an author leaves so many questions for the reader. I don't think life can be so clearcut--sometimes there just isn't a right answer.Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-87899621143895023192010-09-23T21:08:42.342+08:002010-09-23T21:08:42.342+08:00Sounds like an important book, and a really good r...Sounds like an important book, and a really good read. I'll have to look it up at some point. Sounds like it leaves a lot of questions though and that might frustrate me!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102250492155489672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-57844522169097910252010-09-23T20:16:55.868+08:002010-09-23T20:16:55.868+08:00The idea of this makes me nauseous.

Kudos to the author for addressing such a taboo subject.Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-19450288598394343322010-09-23T18:44:29.442+08:002010-09-23T18:44:29.442+08:00Being treated as a charity case is never easy and ...Being treated as a charity case is never easy and if he goes to Corinna because of that, then his parents are to blame. Really. <br /><br />I like the plot, but this kind of open ending is not somehting I would like. And I cannot be happy with Corinna leaving.

I am not sure if this is for me, although it sounds like a good thing that there is a lot of focus on the boy finding himself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-74741398835606864152010-09-23T12:37:23.481+08:002010-09-23T12:37:23.481+08:00The book sound like it's very complicated rela...The book sound like it's very complicated relationship between Corinna and Connor. Sometime books are better off leaving the readers to make their own decision about the ending of the books. And sometime it drive readers insane with not knowing without any explaination. Great review Melody!Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06327851309182088290noreply@blogger.com
