The Grace Year by Kim Liggett
5.0
I absolutely loved this book. I don't typically gravitate towards YA but I read this with the Killer Thriller Crew book club and I quite literally could not put it down. I read a couple reviews before I started reading, and I can see why some people think there was not enough character development and some missed opportunities with the setting being so creepy and isolated, but since I can tell I'll have this book on my mind for a long time, I can't give it less than 5 stars.
That being said, I really felt connected to the main character- She was young and definitely naïve at times, but it was believable. She fit perfectly into the 'coming of age' tale that this book was. I loved the symbolism of flowers used throughout the book as well. I'm not usually a fan of romance but I found myself totally invested in the romantic storylines.
I'd recommend this book again and again!
