In reply to Tara. Thanks, Tara. I did really enjoy this one and could sympathize with both Meredith and Claire.

You squashed all my notions of what the book isn’t about. What you’ve described it to be takes me off the iffy fence and has me wanting to look for it at the library.

I’m so glad that, ultimately, you enjoyed this book, Susie; thank you for adding in what it’s NOT about, since that seems to be a point of contention among many readers. I really appreciate your perspective, since you work with this age group all the time; so nice to know that this rings true, for you. What a great review!

Agree that the publisher’s blurb grossly mischaracterized this book and will leave lots of people disappointed. Which stinks for the author.

And I thought the ending was perfect too, but agree it will irk a lot of people!

Interesting comp to The Secret Wisdom of the Earth…I’d completely forgotten about that one. I’m going in a different direction with my comps…
