Skye Falling is about so many things. I loved the central idea of the novel of reconciling your past in order to move on for the future. Skye is an almost 39 year old woman who lives in Philly when she isn't traveling. She had a rough past, and is not to big on the idea of having any close relationships. She has up these walls around her stemming from her childhood, adolescence, and twenties. She is quick to run away when it gets too tough, and does not trust others easily. When she finds out that there is someone out there who she really can't run from will she give up her independent lifestyle and put down roots? I loved Skye as the narrator, she's funny, blunt, stubborn, and fierce. Mia McKenzie writes with laugh out loud humor, and created this world that took on so many current societal issues. I loved the setting of West Philly, the cast of characters and Skye's voice telling the story. Thanks Netgalley and Random House for the advance e-copy!
