Tabitha Suzuma tackled a very difficult subject and she did it very well.
An incestuous relationship between brother and sister is at the core of this story and while it is uncomfortable to read and your brain is screaming "this isn't right" you can't help but be drawn into the story. There is so much more to it than just the incest. Would Lochan & Maya still have been drawn to each other if their home life had been different? Could they have been normal teens?
I can't give it 5 stars simply because I felt so uneasy reading it but it certainly is a thought provoking book. It would be a great read for book club because it would generate lots of discussion but it might be too uncomfortable for some folks.
