The Death of Bees by Lisa O'Donnell

4.0

I wasn't sure I was going to like this book when I first started reading it. One of the three points of view is of an impoverished, neglected, Scottish teen, and so the cadence and slang took some getting used to. Once I jumped that hurdle, though, i ended up really enjoying this unusual, very original story. It managed to be funny, dark, and touching all at the same time. The last several chapters of the book were surprisingly twisty and I didn't see them coming. All in all, The Death of Bees was a great read.
