WORTH CONSUMING!

I enjoyed this book (it’s a quick read – I read it all in one day), but have some beefs with it. First of all, I think Anna doesn’t read very authentically as a 13 year old. Dialogue is too adult (even for a mature 13 year old). Second, the mom is flatter than she could be. Third, the ending is WAAAAAAAAY too tidy/perfect. It feels contrived to me.

But the plot is interesting and the ethical issues are certainly compelling. Worth a read.

Comments

Anna

I agree 100% about the comment about Anna’s dialogue. I had the same thoughts throughout the book. She knew words that 13 year olds just don’t say or even think.

It was enough to irk me a bit.
