This book has been phenomenal so far. The metaphors used to describe Lily’s emotions are perfect. I’m a Michigan boy through and through but I truly feel connected to this southern girl’s experiences and emotions. The rest of the characters are very real in their own ways. To add to it all, I simply love a good “kid runs away from home; what’s next?” story. This book fulfills this desire perfectly.
