review 1: This is amazing. I felt so emotionally involved with Emily, even as the book continues and uncomfortable things start coming to life. The characters are well written and the dialogue is very real. It's not all poetry and lengthy words - it feels as though you really are reading a real book that's been found, written by a girl who is angry and sarcastic....but also scared. The ending left me thinking about it for days. Emily felt like a girl I hoped made it, somehow.
review 2: Amazingly deep..I always like books with a entirely different point of view. Such was the narration of [insert age] year-old Emily Koll. She's hard to admire: the daughter of a gangster, vey bitter, difficult to understand or even talk to. But yet, none of it was her own decision.. She did
... moren't choose her dad, definitely did not choose that turn, that swerve in her life that brought everything crashing down..Suddenly, there were no more friends, people whom she could confide in..Before she knew that he was a criminal, before he was stabbed and arrested, they were ordinary people, normal, peaceful, a perfect family. 'And then everything changed when the Juliet attacked'. So, of course it would be normal that you would be wracked with pain, after seeing through the lies, and finding the truth more unbearable than the former. It would not however, be right, be normal, to channel all the rage, fury, anger, sadness, all the negative attributes into one sole purpose: which was to bring up her wrath and vengeance upon Juliet, and turn her world upside down too. AND Succeed. That, was in her sphere of control. She could have walked away..The most humane action, and the most unlikely. So we could almost understand why she did it. less
