![]() ![]() ![]() “My full name is Cadence Sinclair Eastman. But you get used to it eventually and it’s a small complaint for me. A thousand flashlights shine in my eyes.” Things like that. The vertebrae break, the brains pop and ooze. “A truck is rolling over the bones of my neck and head. And this happens all the time, especially when Cady is describing her head pain. When Cady’s father “shot her in the chest” I was very surprised at the direction the book was taking, but then it was clarified that Cady was just saying this as an example of how badly he’d hurt her emotionally. On the other hand, it took me a little while to get used to the author saying things that weren’t meant to be taken literally. I enjoyed how much feeling the words were able to evoke in me as I read and how real they made everything seem I could feel the teenage angst and smell the salt from the ocean as the characters stood on the beach. ![]() The author’s writing style had some pros and some cons. There was a lull in the first half where I had to remind myself there was some supposed twist coming, but the rest of the book sucked me right in. I actually ended up enjoying this book a lot more than I thought I would. Genre: Young Adult, Mystery, Contemporary ![]()
