Margaret Rogerson has an amazingly beautiful and flowing writing style and a knack for bringing her characters to life. It was a joy to read her novel and I will be definitely looking into her other works after this.
Not to mention that this book has a capable female MC, the sweetest romance that I've read in the past few months (or maybe even in the past year) and an exciting story with strong feminist vibes to boot. Definitely something I would recommend getting your teen child, but also something I'd recommend for adults as well. It's just so good!!!
In any case, this book convinced me to try and be a tad bit more open minded when it comes to YA literature. Some books may surprise me with their maturity.

I think the only complaining I can do is that the finale felt a bit rushed, and that I wished this was a trilogy or a duology, not because I wanted this particular plot to drag into another book (100 more pages I think would have been sufficient) but because I want to read more about the characters.

My only real complaint was how long the chapters were, made it slower to read for me personally.
