I can closely relate to the characters being a teenager myself, but at the same time we were a world apart. I definitely recommend this novel as well as two of her other novels, OUT and GROTESQUE.littleghostgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467634516463660435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-62446808156590536372009-08-29T18:02:31.363+08:002009-08-29T18:02:31.363+08:00this sounds like an fascinating novel, I'll lo...this sounds like an fascinating novel, I'll look out for it.

I enjoy your reviews very much for that, but also for the way that you connect your books to your life. I've not read either Real World, nor Out, which is much to my chagrin. I feel those are necessary to this challenge. But, it's hard to read everything we want to, isn't it?
