Reviews
"The characters, drawn with aching realism,... speak poetry in ordinary words... Moving" -Booklist
"Frost has taken the poem-story to a new level with well-crafted sestinas and sonnets, leading readers into the souls and psyches of her teen protagonists." -STARRED/ School Library Journal

Book Rating
Hi! Today I am going to rate this book. Drum roll please... I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars. This book was well written and I really enjoyed it. If you didn't know, this book is a poetry in prose form book. So the words do not fill up the whole page, up and down. Instead, it is more expressive (since it is a poem) and it has lots of poetic devices such as a simile. I liked the story line since it was very understandable. But, it lost on star because this book doesn't really stand out from my other books I have read in the past. I don't feel much love or emotion towards it. The story is just like any other books. But the story itself was very good. I also liked how the author wrote this book. Frost wrote it so that way the characters in the book are writing something like a journal entry. This really might seem like it;s a hard way to tell a story, but everyone's story connected with each others' and that was what made the story move on. This is a very interesting way of writing. To add on, it was a great idea for Frost to write it in a poetic in prose format. A lot of the times in poems, it is easier to express your feelings because it does not have to be so structured and formal like how "normal" books are written in. And in this book, one of the important things to understand while reading it was to know what the characters are feeling towards something, or usually someone. So, I really understood how they felt, and sort of got empathy for them although I have never experienced anything like what all of the characters are going through. Overall, I liked this book. It might not be a story I will remember forever, but it is defiantly one of the books you should read.
