I really loved this book. It's a fantastic way for kids, specifically middle-schoolers, to become more familiar with LGBT relationships and possibly find themselves in Mattie.

I was blown away by how accepting everyone was of her bisexuality: her friends, her sister, her teacher. Even the book's mean girl reprimands another student for using gay as an insult. At every turn, her crush on Gemma is seen as a normal thing and treated as well as every other relationship in the book.

While this book is a great conversation starter, it doesn't exactly fill a conversation, if you know what I mean. It is rather simple, but, considering the audience, I understand that decision. It doesn't really go in depth about Mattie's coming out or her feelings other than the typical fears that arrive once you figure out you're really not like everyone else. By the end of the book, the two technically don't even get together.

But you know what? For middle school, that's kind of how it goes. You get a crush, you see where it goes, and if it goes nowhere, well that's it. It doesn't have to be anything grand or spectacular or life changing, it just is what it is. And really, what this relationship is is very cute and worth trying out. They have a good chemistry and all the way you root for the both of them.

I definitely recommend this book for drama kids or those in the beginning of trying to understand their sexuality. It's a good introduction to understanding that part of yourself, but you may want to look elsewhere if you want a deeper look.

One of the most complex and abstract story I have read in a long time. It reads almost like Neil Gaiman novel, more regarding to content rather than style.

This book has a lot of offer: thoughts on death, immortality, and stories and an interesting look on crow behavior.

Dar Oakley's adventures take him to various times and places. Each one is interesting and carries its own weight to it. Many of the themes are somewhat deep and tough to figure out, making me wish I had more people to discuss the book with. Apparently this author is woefully underappreciated and I feel bad for anyone missing out.

I definitely recommend this book to any fans of magical realism, intense discussions on the ideas of life and death, and crows.

This book started off interesting. I'm a big fan of the original stories and I just love the Jekyll and Hyde dynamic. There are so many different ways to approach it, especially with a setup like this. The original stories from Hyde's perspective? Sounds cool!

Well it was.....until the pedophilia......the masturbation.....and the rape.

I think that's cause enough to not like this book.

Not a bad book by any means, but not that memorable. It reminded me a lot of Gotham but was less frustrating and actually enjoyable.

I didn't really have as much fun with it as I did with the Wonder Woman book. That one felt a little more epic and the stakes were way more drastic.

This is my first time reading Marie Lu and I like her writing style. I think I just need to read one of her more original books.
