4.5
adventurous emotional sad fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Wow. What a brilliant read. So poignant and on the nose it hurt. And I'm not even talking about the bear. A really realistic look at family and what happens when someone is living, but "isn't there". April's journey and her need for love got me right in the heart. She also annoyed me to no end, because HOW MUCH DANGER CAN ONE GIRL PUT HERSELF IN??? 

Gold is a fantastic and lyrical writer, but her style in no way detracted from the pace of the story. In fact, a lot of her beautiful imagery drived April's motivation forward. She's been added to my "must-buy" authors.
