3.0

I really enjoyed aspects of this book. I think the writing is simple and pretty. Kind of melodic. Emilie's family situation resonated, and I liked her growing boldness. I like the friendships at the big house. The lack of communication was frustrating at times - like, I just want to shake them. But then, you could probably say the same about me and life. I dislike some of the "signs"/almost fate stuff toward the end. I would only recommend this book to certain people, who are ok feeling a little unsatisfied.
