I had to read this book for summer reading, and I hated every minute of it. Hannah Tinti starts off great with the orphanage and everything and then takes a horrible turn with adding odd characters. Her language is okay, but most of all, there is no determined plot. Yes, it is unpredictable but I would like to see a storyline that makes sense and is easy to follow. I can understand more in Jane Eyre than this book because Jane Eyre has a beautifully written plot and great themes. This book could have been written so much better if author wrote more clearly so I can understand what is going on. It was such an awful book, I can barely write this review. This book had so much potential, but the author had poor execution.
