Glad to read a positive review! I really knew nothing about it when I put it on hold. I just liked the cover and I gravitate toward adult novels with child narrators.

This is a debut novel and it just came out today (July2) so it will undoubtedly get a bit more exposure in the next few weeks!

I don't require stories to wrap everything up into a perfect bow BUT I like to feel sense of resolution.
