I was extremely excited to read this book after all the amazing things I heard about it. The book was excellent, I just didn't connect to it as much as other people, which is ok. I don't have anything negative to say about the book. I found the story's premise very interesting and as an allegory to certain issues that other people have with their own bodies or another part of themselves. I enjoyed the descriptive writing and I liked how the reader was able to know what was going on inside the main character's mind. Tennesse was my favorite character. I wish I had a cousin like her. I think this book can be very moving for some people and I don't have any personal problems or flaws with the book, it just didn't strike me as much as it did others.
