Kritters Thoughts: Avery was a great character, I loved her age and the point of life that she was in - trying to figure out what her next move will be and all without a parent. I was amazed that she left home so quickly on this adventure that her mom had planned out for her - amazed and kind of excited to follow her!
Avery was an honest character and I appreciated her true reactions to her mother's death and that there were ups and downs through her entire grieving process. I loved her hesitation with people, but her complete openness with others, I understood her. The secondary characters were fantastic - they completely added to the story and didn't take too much focus away from the central storyline. The twists at the end were absolutely satisfying, I was beyond excited about what the author left to unveil and how she wrapped it all up.
I hesitated for a moment and debated about labeling this a perfect YA read, but there were just a few moments that were a little questionable in adult matters and I like to label my YA reads when they are completely on the innocent side. If you are willing to read and approve this for your young YA reader, than I would recommend this one.
Rating: perfect beach read
