a perfect mixture of real life events and impact with a fictionalized time, place, and community. the echoes of events in our world are omnipresent, but the story never felt like it “had” to match anything, or like it suffered from a need to attach to the present. 

this book had everything. good twists, a wonderful hero with her own demons and dilemmas, intricate and difficult family relations, friendship and community, and an articulation of that time of life where we try to find our purpose on earth. oh, and a thrilling crime-y plot.

I don't normally read YA but this book was being talked about so much that I decided to give it a read. 
I loved it so much I devoured the audio book in one day on a road trip. Cannot wait to read more from the author.
