So, I'm gonna be honest - as you are with reviews - I liked Furthermore better.
Laylee might be an interesting character to some, but to me, she was just wildly confusing. I really liked her profession and how it was described. Laylee's actual character is what I thought was confusing. Laylee, being a cold girl, doesn't understand the warmth brought upon her by her new companions. However, she keeps flip-flopping, one moment she is moved by their warmth, and the next she shuts them out. I've read a lot of books with characters like these, and I can't say I enjoy them (mainly when they are the POV).
But I still liked the writing, it was very lyrical and whimsical. I also enjoyed all the other characters, particularly Benyamin, his mother, and Alice. I was a little disappointed in Oliver but I got over that quickly. He turned out to be different than I thought.
