While this book is beautifully written and well worth the read, it just didn't grip me as much as I'd like. There are many twists and turns, some very very light romance. I'm not sure if there was just a LOT going on or if that it seemed very "young adult" with some adult references (such as spirits, hidden family history, and death) that made me less intrigued or something else. I think if I was younger, I would have like this much more.
