The Waters & the Wild by Francesca Lia Block
On second thought, this book left me really annoyingly unsatisfied. I think it was all the loose ends - that and not feeling terribly connected to the main characters. When I come close to finishing a book, I want to feel like I don't want it to end because I'll miss the characters and the story. I didn't feel like that at all with this book - I just feel sort of frustrated, and don't have anyone to talk it out with because I don't know anyone else who has read the book! I feel like maybe it was too short, and if it had been a bit more fleshed out I wouldn't feel like I was left hanging. It makes me sad, because I think Francesca Lia Block is really cool and I want to like everything she writes! I guess it's time for something solid and involved, like a Jodi Picoult novel. I need to feel engrossed by what I'm reading, and I'm pissed that The Waters and the Wild didn't do that for me.
