The "Before" and "After" portions of the novel sound a little different; personally I like to be kept in the moment with the books I read, and that's too bad you felt as though the transition between them was lacking. And yet...this novel sounds so incredibly different from what I regularly read about in the YA literary marketplace, so that's bound to get my attention. And despite your reservations, for you to give it 4 stars means that you really did like it overall, and I tend to trust your reviews here. So I think I will have to give this one a chance! Lovely review, Keertana!

I have to say the cover reminds me an awful lot of a painting I saw once in highschool...that I had to redo for an art class except the bodies were in the trees not at the base.

I am hesitant about a lot of flashbacks, though so that makes me nervous. But I love an unreliable narrator and when you get pieces of things that don't make sense until BAM! later in the story.

I didn't want to give anything away and even after the reveal is...well...revealed, the book still remains so ambiguous and different from everything else out there. I did enjoy the ending, though I wanted a bit more from it after the emotional beginning. I am really looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this one! :)Keertanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071392026876644282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-61020194978309046252013-06-08T15:21:37.001-04:002013-06-08T15:21:37.001-04:00I'm so utterly intrigued by this book.

I'm also a big fan of open endings, though I'm sorry to see it was this ending bit that disappointed you somewhat. I really don't know what to think of this one, but that's precisely what makes me want to read it.
