This book was overall pretty mesmerizing. The author characterizes a young girl that is going through difficult times by moving to a new city and having to find new friends. She is very lost and confused because her mother left her and she had to move in with her father who she hasn't seen in 16 years. He often demonstrates Poe's life as a typical teenager with differing personalities and opinions. Her mindset is much different than others, which causes much trouble around her. She develops friends and enemies in her conquest to find a new life and constantly sticks up for them when she believes that they are being mistreated. As the story progresses, she overcomes her differences and difficult situations in certain dilemmas with the help of people around her. Towards the end of the story, Poe brings together her mother and father by showing both of them how important they are to each other and that they just didn't realize it. This shows Poe's effect on their relationship and her commitment to helping them, even though they haven't done much for her. “She looked at me, and something I’d never seen in her eyes shined like tiny diamonds floating in blue pools. Sadness. She glanced at Dad, then back at me. “I thought it would be a good time to begin repairing what should have been repaired a long time ago�(Pg 223). So, this book was very inspiring and it was hard to put down at certain points because I wanted to know what was going to happen, which is exactly how a book should be portrayed. The author made it very engaging and easy to connect to even if you don't relate to Poe's situation. It demonstrates a perfect happy ending as well and shapes together a broken family through bonds of love and desire, which is why this book is tremendous.
