This is very YA fiction. There’s a lot of things that I realized at the end didn’t get fleshed out. Was there a romance? Was it mystical? Or was it a story about a girl making waves at school, dealing with a parental illness and going to Haiti for the first time? Maybe all of that. It’s a fun adventure. The epistolary style is one I love. The tweets and some of the format of things were probably better set up for print readers. It’s a very right now book, a lot of slang and technology references. An enjoyable adventure with a girl in Haiti.
