review 1: My overall review of this book was that a young sweet girl became in love with this boy named Curtis her boyfriend. The girl ran away from her house and went to go live with him in his cabin. The girl decided to leave her house because she felt alone she left like her family didn't pay attention to her. She found it better if she would go move in with her boyfriend. She was a average teen age girl she went to school work liked the nature just like Curtis. She meet Curtis at her job she was also neighbors with him before he left to the cabin , she knew his family she would always go outside to see Curtis sister play with her wings they would buy her. Curtis was in the army that's what the girl didn't like she was always was scared he was going to go back. Until one day she ... morecame back from school and she found Curtis making dinner and was very talkative she had never heard Curtis talk so much before or nothing. She was happy that day she felt loved. But then came night and they both fell asleep together but the next morning Curtis wasn't there he had felt. The girl went out to go find him but she didn't find him anywhere. She waited all day to see if he would come back she had a bad feeling he was never going to. Sure enough he never did , Curtis brother came over to the house and said he needed Curtis books and stuff because he was going to Iraq with him. His brother gave her a letter Curtis has made for her. That was all that Curtis left behind for her a letter..
review 2: Not quite sure what I thought of this. Honestly, it was very difficult to get into, which surprised me since I read and enjoyed both Heaven and The First Part Last. I was bored by this; I struggled just to finish it (and it's a short, small book, too), but I can't put my finger on precisely why...I think maybe Shoogy's personality just grated on me. I found her narrative voice hard to flow with and follow. And the plot was a little bit confusing, too; I constantly felt like I was missing details and I had to backtrack a fair bit in the second half of the book. less
