I loved this book more than I thought I would. I have been in a bit of reading slump lately so I was hoping to read something different and boy was this something different. I have always been a fan of Lani Wendt Young but this book has probably become my new favourite written by her.
Scarlet was an interesting character and I found her voice to be unique. I think I have a strong affinity to her because I too am Pacific Islander and I found myself relating to a lot of what she saying and the some of the struggles she went through. There are a few triggering issues in this book so readers need to be aware. In saying that I think the issues were touched on appropriately and it helped you to better understand Scarlet as a person.
This book is heart retching but beautiful and I can't wait to see where this story goes.
