![]() ![]() There's one scene in particular where she is upset because she thinks that a boy she likes is more interested in her friend, and she wants him to be interested in her. She seems to feel things a lot more intensely than others do and it shows. She knows it, and so do the people around her. Julie is a very complex character, she's innocent, in a way, but there's something different about her. Both Julie and Maya are very smart, Julie has skipped a few grades in school, so she is a bit younger than her classmates, and this shows through in her personality and the way that she interacts with them. Their mother has passed away, and their father is distant, more focused on his work than he is on them. The story explores the lives of Julie and Maya, two very bright, if somewhat troubled girls. That being said, it is slightly predictable at times, which is why it didn't get the full five stars from me. It is dark, and twisty, full of pain, sorrow, searching, experimenting, and madness. This book holds up very well, and is very well written. This review was first posted on Melissa's Midnight Musings on September 24 2012. ![]()
