This coming of age book is about Ophelia, our graduating, rose loving, senior. Who begins to learn things about herself that she'd never understood before. Does everyone really know who she is? Does she really know who everyone really is? Does she even know who she really is? Ophelia felt very real to me. Her thinking that she knows herself. Her having her own flower themed style. Her garden loving hobby. My favorite part of the book was when Ophelia said, "" My feelings don't exsist to simplify things for you."" The only thing I didn't like about the book was Ophelia's VERY annoying best friend, Sammie. He could have showed Ophelia some more empathy. The writing style was addictive and kept me glued to the pages. And the cover is quite gorgeous and beautifully goes well with the relashonship of the book.
I recommend this book to older teens who are fans of the drama/comedy/lgbt book genre. Readers who are into school setting, teenage lives just trying to survive thier days through school, friends, and feeling. Imagine Gossip girl meeting Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda.
