review 1: This was not good. I'm still not over the fact that she had one of the cool, teenage girls sporting a scrunchie. Honestly, I feel more in tune with a 15 year old than this author and I'm twice that age. Still, all that aside, my biggest issue is the fact that there is all this foreshadowing that something terrible is going to happen and then when the "terrible" thing happens, it's really just not that terrible. Build a bridge and get over it.
review 2: I loved the description of "mermaid hair." And that's about all I loved. The whole writing style was so vague and muddled that I felt like I was seeing everything underwater. I couldn't tell if there was supposed to be an element of fantasy or not -- if there was, it was massively out of place, and bugged lik... moree an erupting zit you can feel but not yet see -- and it didn't work at all, not the way "Frannie in Pieces" did. Pity, it seems like there might have been a decent story in there about body image, fractured families, and perhaps a psychological issue at play with the way she makes up friendships in her head, had the author wanted to tell something more realistic. less
