shimmery's review against another edition
3.0
I was dubious about this book for quite a while on account of the dodgy similes, awkward changes of tense and soppy scenes. Having finished it I think it explored some interesting moral questions even if it wasn't always believable. The final third I felt was better as it was more about the action rather than fluffy scenes that just seemed to take up space without adding to the plot -- I definitely agree with others who have said it could have been much shorter. I didn't like the writing style at all but couldn't help but want to keep reading it to find out how the situation was going to be resolved.

I hated Isabelle in this book and loved Tom. I sobbed at the end completely unexpectedly. Poor little Lucy.

It was well written, but seemed a little bit hard to follow the back and forth storyline, and the rather rushed wrap up.
