Looking for Alibrandi by Melina Marchetta

3.0

I've given every other Melina Marchetta book I've read 5 stars (OK, I only gave 4 stars to Finnikin, but really, it should have been 5). But Alibrandi, her first novel, just wasn't that engaging. I didn't like Jacob at ALL. Josie was supremely annoying most of the time. The narrative flow just didn't work for a large chunk of the novel. But she goes on to write Francesca and Will, Taylor and Jonah, and Finnikin and Isaboe, so I'll let it pass.
