Answer 1

Although I have a bunch to complain about, overall, the book was well written. The main character overcomes racism, even though it is not pointed in her direction, abuse, and she tries to find out the mystery of her mother's death, which she thinks is her fault. The story is set in the 1950s or 60s in which there was a civil rights movement. The main character, Lily, sets out to find her mother's past.

Hope I helped! =]

Answer 2

it was pretty good. It was a really easy read, though. The main character is about fifteen; if that helps you.

Answer 3

Well from personal experience i loved the book, i think it's more of a book for girls because the main character is lilly a 14 year old. I first came across the book last summer, read it and loved it! I've read it about 3 times since. And it wasn't required for school!

I would suggest it to any of my friends, and i can't wait until the movie comes out i think in october!

Answer 4

i was forced to read it as a freshman and didnt really enjoy it but being forced to read probably was helping the books case. it was an ok book i guess but i wouldnt have read it if i didnt have to.
