I received a free copy of The Different Girl through Goodreads first reads.
This is a book about four not human girls on an island with their two caretakers. When a real girl washes up on shore, things start to take dramatic turns. This is a very thoughtful book, and very hard to describe. It really challenges your mind to wrap around everything that is going on, because it never fully explains everything. A part of me wishes that I knew the actual events going on, but part of the beauty in this story is that you don't know. You can make so many guesses, but no one can say who is right or wrong.
I loved the p.o.v. from the non human, Veronika. It was so interesting to read something through such a differently operated mind. You see and understand as much as and how she does. Her questions about things are surprisingly complex and even funny at times. I loved her simple logic.
The plot is good. There isn't a much physical action, but Veronika's thought process is not always passive. It all flows together and makes a lot of sense, though you will constantly have questions through out.
I won't give away the ending, but I was surprised at how it did end. It was not a bad ending at all, but I did see another course I thought it might venture towards.
If you like sci-fi, dystopian type books, I would recommend this to you. It has unique literary elements, and it's a fairly quick read.
