This was definitely a quick, intriguing, and emotional story! I couldn't help but feel so sympathetic toward Mila, as it's clear from the start that she's had a very rough go of things. The farm itself, where Mila goes to work after aging out of the foster system, is incredibly atmospheric. The author did a great job making the reader feel like there is something... "other" about this place.
I also really loved the farm family's acceptance of Mila, even when Mila wasn't sure of herself. My only real qualm about the book is that while I felt for Mila, I never really got a sense of who she was outside of the things that happened to her. But overall, it was a great story, very compulsively readable, and I am glad I had the chance to read it!
