abigailbat 's review for:

The Sky Always Hears Me: And the Hills Don't Mind by Kirstin Cronn-Mills

5.0

---

Morgan lives in Central Nowhere, Nebraska. When life's too much for her, she drives out into the hills and screams her troubles into the sky. This year, her junior year, she's got a lot to think about. Her alcoholic dad verbally abuses her and her brothers. She's got a major crush on a gorgeous guy she works with (despite the fact that she's in a long-term relationship with a football player). Oh, yeah, and her next-door neighbor Tessa kissed her a couple nights ago. And she thinks she liked it.

I really, really liked this book. Morgan's voice fulled me in from the very beginning. She has a dry wit and a very dark humor that was startling and interesting. The novel is about gray areas and I loved that there were no easy answers. Highly recommended.
