This book was short and interesting, I read it in about an hour.
I did expect there to be some violence at the end honestly, because it felt like that was what the book was hinting at and leading up to.
But yeah, the people in this book really just needed to let the main character do what she wanted instead of trying to force a certain way of living onto her. Also, there is some very clear autistic coding happening with the main character, which I wish was something it went into more specifically. 
Read from the BYU library.
