Don't Let Me Go by Catherine Ryan Hyde
3.0
3.5 stars.
Overall, I enjoyed the book, but there were a few little things that kind of bugged me throughout. One was Grace. She was a bit repetitive at times and seemed to vacillate between sounding like a regular 9-year-old and sounding like someone older. I also was a bit disappointed that we didn't get to see the development of Jesse and Rayleen's relationship, which made it a little hard to make sense of their ending. It seemed like it moved a bit fast in the three months that went by between their meeting and Grace's dance.
I would say the standout character for me was Billy. Pretty well-developed, and you can't help but root for him.
