Overall, I liked this book. I would not recommend this for a curriculum or course, but would encourage older, mature students to read this on their own. There are themes of being independent and going against a plan that wasn’t designed for you, along with escaping the clutches of family who no longer fit into the life you’ve made because of betrayal. I enjoyed the “fight” in both characters. The intimate scenes may be too much for students in high school, but again, those about to graduate may resonate with the main character who is also trying to find her own path after high school.
