I had no idea what to think when I started this book. I had read a couple reviews raving over the book and loved the cover, so I really didn't know what was coming at me.

Finn was so freaking interesting. I loved how the town both loved him and yet held him at arms length because they thought he was a bit crazy. I also thought it was so interesting how this amazingly handsome boy was weird. It is not really a trait you have for main characters. Normally if you are weird, your looks go right along with that weirdness. It made his character even more unique.
The book was realistic but yet magical at the same time. It is odd how those who things work so well together, but they did. The small town vibe, but then the horse rides at night and the talking cornfield. Such a cool way to write a story.
I adored Petey and Roza, Both were strong women, but still vulnerable and figuring how who they were. They were completely opposite in looks, but loved each other for reasons beyond looks. I think that is a great part of the book, that perception is so much more important that self-image.
Ruby's writing was so poetic, there were numerous times where I was impressed by her imagery. She can write amazing fiction and it feels like she didn't even have to try too hard. I really enjoyed that. I am definitely going to have to read more of her work.

Gripes:
Bone Gap is definitely one of those books that people are going to either love or hate. It is a book you need to read when you are open to a little magic in everyday life, and a little weirdness. I think if you enjoyed You Give Me the Sun or Fangirl, you would enjoy the weirdness of this book.
