I found it hard to put this book down. I loved the main character. I loved how the story was told, how it was written, everything about the book. An excellent novel.
What can I say about this book, it was just a really good solid story, great characters, great plot, beautifully written, just a really enjoyable read. I look forward to reading more from this author!
I am almost done. I expected this to be a little more Alice Hoffman-esque. It feels like something is missing... a little magic maybe. Or hope, there is no sense of hope.
I don't know why I didn't like this book as much as I thought I would have. The plot is a good one: A girl keeps growing and growing, causing her to be ostracized from a very young age. Forced under a particular set of circumstances to move in and take care of one of her lifelong bullies is a tough pill to swallow, but she does it. Later on, this bully and others that turned their noses up at Truly, will need favors from her. Somewhere along the way, however, the story lost its magic for me. I kept reading on just hoping to finally get to the last page and be done with it. Could make for a good movie...
