What's great about this book is the voice of Lennie, the main character. When I first started reading this, I was a little off-put by Lennie's voice – it's a unique one and not entirely believable at the jump. Little by little, though, details are revealed about Lennie that begin to explain her strong voice and diction. I love that Lennie is a teenager and experiencing/expressing grief and love in these complicated and super adult(-seeming) ways. This book is full of beautifully written passages that completely swept me away into Lennie's world.
