amy reed!! i really think she does something nobody else is doing in YA. there's something very raw and undiluted about her writing that i really love. reading her books is like having a vivid dream. the way she interspersed these gorgeous little vignettes about the ancient greek pantheon to supplement the story was so interesting and smart and different! and i simply love when she writes those stream-of-consciousness scenes that get weird and surreal, fantastic and sad. there's so much poetry and light in this book about a toxic friendship, that frantic sense of being caught in something you don't know if you want to end.
