I never knew where this book was taking me next, and then I was always happy with where it took me. The trajectory of the story was very different than I expected, but Temi Oh wrote such organic, living characters that I always believed that whatever smart or illogical or emotional choice they made, they made because of their life experience and the stress they were under and because of who they are. I like books with an ensemble cast like this, and it was always great to see the different characters' reactions to events. I definitely recommend it, even if I can't quite describe this book.
