Pull Me Under by Kelly Luce

4.0

I received this book at my December Book of the Month Selection and I'm glad I chose it. I probably wouldn't have picked this book up in bookstore on the dust jacket synopsis alone. Chizuru "Rio" Akitani is a remarkably and fantastically broken character. She undergoes some serious tragedies in her life and the prose used to describe her feelings as she grows up is incredibly powerful and resonant. Several times throughout the book, I could empathize with her - I've felt the way she felt, although for different reasons. The path the plot takes is a little surprising, but the conclusion was satisfying and I was very glad to have read this.
