review 1: I read this in a days on the train back and to school.The story and writing isn't bad.The book is very sad and depressing makes you want to smack her mom.Somewhat reminded me of situations I have been in the past with my mother(everyone taking her side,being someone in front of everyone else and evil with me.)I think that is the only reason I somewhat enjoyed this book.I wish they would have made it longer or added the story.The book has waves of good and some of just terrible .Not for a book for everyone especially younger teens .
review 2: A pithy and elegant portrait of a child slowly collapsing under the weight of her mother's mood swings and her father's indifference. I'm not sure how to classify this one -- it was in the young adult section in the library... more, and I suppose it could be young adult, but it could also be for adults, and the first half (before Melie reaches puberty) would even be suitable for children.I thought this did a very good job of showing how pathological Melie's mother was, and the effect it had on Melie. But the ending was abrupt and inconclusive. less
