4.5

This was a lot of fun and kept me thoroughly engrossed. Certainly not the same vibes as Henry’s current books, but for a YA it was dark and twisty and gritty. There’s a lot of hope woven into a pretty tragic tale. Would recommend.

I wanted to like this book, but somewhere around the halfway mark, I started to lose interest. Maybe it’s because of the theme (see summery), but the plot felt predictable and the character growth didn’t seem nearly as drastic as the narrator keeps telling us it was.

Not anything against the book I just am not a fan of most YA books and I thought I would try this one out before getting rid of it. However, I couldn't stand hardly any of the characters from what I did read. The father was atrocious and the brother was just as bad. Both were filled with unnecessary hatred and I just did not care anymore.

This book is fun and easy to read — the story moves quickly, and I really enjoyed the use of the girls’ current funds as a reminder of their position throughout the book. The ending was unsatisfactory, but in a way that made sense because the characters weren’t satisfied at the end of the story. Overall it works as a book, and was enjoyable to get through!

This book was a wild ride from start to finish, and I was unbelievably anxious at times. Haha. These two girls….it’s unbelievable what happens to them and how they come out on the other side. It’s inspiring and heartfelt and I just want these two to find their found family someday.
