They are just like real people they are not the star of the school or the one who catches everybody’s attention, and there home life is just as defunct as many other people’s out there (just without the incest so much). All of the characters were very strong and unique, and it’s hard to decide who my favorite may be. Her skills with putting emotion on a page are unreal! Not only does Suzuma do a wonderful job with writing emotions, but she is great at expressing things that are difficult to put into words, such as her portrayal of a panic attack in one of the scenes. I felt my anxiety rise as the characters’ levels went up, my heart broke for them, it sung for them, and I wanted to reach into the pages and hug them. Her descriptions are matched by few writers whose works I have read, especially in the young adult circle. Suzuma’s writing is brilliant and elegant and full of emotions. Tabitha Suzuma is a very brave writer for her novel on something so taboo and she made it beautiful. I highly doubt any book I read for the rest of February will be able to top this book! This book was absolutely AMAZING!!! Yes, it is a very taboo topic incest is almost always something that will make most people pretty uncomfortable because it isn’t exactly socially acceptable, but I am open to trying many different books, even some that may have me go beyond comfort zones.

As the novel careens toward an explosive and shocking finale, only one thing is certain: A love this devastating has no happy ending. And yet, they cannot stop what feels so incredibly right. They know their relationship is wrong and cannot possibly continue. Their clandestine romance quickly blooms into deep, desperate love.
So close, in fact, that they have fallen in love. And the stress of their lives-and the way they understand each other so completely-has also brought them closer than two siblings would ordinarily be. As de facto parents to the little ones, Lochan and Maya have had to grow up fast. Together they have stepped in for their alcoholic, wayward mother to take care of their three younger siblings. Seventeen-year-old Lochan and sixteen-year-old Maya have always felt more like friends than siblings. Perfect for readers who enjoyed Flowers in the Attic, this is a heartbreaking and shocking novel about siblings Lochan and Maya, their tumultuous home life, and the clandestine, and taboo, relationship they form to get through it.
