The Art of Escaping was such a fun read! While there were a great many things I loved about this story, the characters are what really made the story shine. I Ioved Mattie, Miyu, and Will especially. I loved the sarcasm and banter between all of the characters. And I especially loved how well the author captured and portrayed whst it's like to be a teenager and to be different from everyone else around you. I loved that the main character, Mattie, had such an original hobbie- escapism. And that she had the bravery to seek out her late idol's daughter as a mentor. I loved how plucky Miyu was and how she and Mattie played off of each other. Will was another great addition to the cast of characters and a very original one at that. I just loved this story!
