This is such a beautifully written story, the words almost like poetry. The author uses strong imagery, and metaphor -- it's moving, powerful and poetic. The title matches the story very elegantly. The main character goes on a bit of a coming of age journey, but it doesn't feel cliche or done before-- very original, compelling, heartfelt and bittersweet. I loved seeing the world through their eyes.
