Alone by Megan E. Freeman

4.0

---

This book was a quick read for all the right reasons! It is written in verse which sounds fun but can go south really quickly. However, Megan Freeman really brings it home. She is brief when lengthy description would only be tiresome, and turns to prose when the story calls for more explanation. The heroine is likable and engages the reader in her daily struggles both physical and mental as well as her moments of joy and growth. The plot is well paced with danger and adventure threatening just as we are beginning to feel Maddie's monotony. I could've read a hundred more pages, but it ended just when it should.
