I was a bit confused at first as it was very different to what I was expecting from reading descriptions of the book. The first half was a bit slow for me and didn't really grip me, but then I couldn't wait to find out what happened to Joe and sped through the last part. I also really loved how the prologue fitted in at the end!

 So the synopsis of this book does not give away exactly what is going on here (although you may be able to guess) so I will be careful about spoilers. This is a dual perspective novel following Joe and Ariel when they meet each other and how this influences them both.

This type of book has to be very careful as it is so easy to become repetitive without providing anything new. I feel on the whole Emily Barr does a good job at this. I particularly like hearing more about Ariel's home life throughout the story. I can imagine this will be a hit with teenage readers.
