While the story of this book was both heart-warming and heart-breaking, and the use of imagery was unique and interesting, I did not find the style of writing to be captivating in the slightest. While Sheila certainly has an interesting story to tell, it was not told in a way that kept my interest, and thus I feel like I missed out on what could have been a great story. I'm not saying this is necessarily a bad book, but it certainly wasn't for me. It's simply not a page-turner.
