I'll be the first to admit, that a year ago, I wouldn't have given this book a second glance. But my college literature classes have expanded my tastes, and I'm so glad they did. Because the slow, almost melancholic, writing style of this one was so intriguing. I found myself drawn to the characters and situations immediately, and even thought we only got 20 pages with them, I'm desperate to know what happens next. I'll be keeping an eye out for this one for sure!
