![]() ![]() Her focus throughout the story (until the last 2 hours) is so vapid, whiny and self-obsessed that I had a hard time cheering for her survival. ![]() The protagonist is supposedly 16 years old, but she sounds very much like she is 12. But a bit more than halfway though, I realized that it was not how the words were read that was the problem - its the words themselves. For a good portion of the book I blamed the narrator - Emily Bauer - for the childish, whiny protagonist. The teen narrator will grate on your last nerve. That was my reason for picking this book - and if you have kids ages 9-14 and a long road trip, this may be a good pick for your family too - sure to lead to some interesting conversations. It is far more family-friendly is every way. ![]()
