The characters could also be a bit flat at times. Yes, I know girls can be emotionally weird at times, but this was more confusing. The main character would often flip between laughter and tears without any clear reason or description. They sometimes behaved in ways inconsistent with their description or with how many people in a similar emotional state would act.
What I liked less The characters were confusing at times. She did a good job helping the characters come to life, especially further into the book. She used word pictures and interested descriptions and didn’t say “said” all the time.
So while the book was a novel, it was also edifying, which I highly appreciated. Greyson did a good job of touching on topics like pain, fear, depression and suicide, and addressed them with solutions (the Solution?) that have helped so many in their same shoes. I mean.girls arguing over a necklace? Ms. A couple of scenes in the book are totally that, and we (as the reader/listener) get to see random sides of the characters that are really funny. As any author knows, characters have a way of getting out of hand sometimes, and showing parts of their personality that weren’t supposed to come out in the initial draft. I mean, I listened to the book in just over 2 days, because I had to know HOW everything turned out right. Greyson knows how to make a basic storyline and turn it into something interesting and different. While the basic storyline (if you were to bother to map it out) may be a bit cliche for some, Ms. I mean, when you start a book and you know there’s a mystery.but then things just keep happening wrong because of said mystery, and some the characters are confused because of the mystery and keep asking and wondering about it while the ones who know the mystery aren’t saying anything, and you (as the listener) are just sitting there for THREE HOURS in agony as the suspense builds.yeah. The first half of the book was so uncomfortable -out annoying because of that fact.
Greyson is a master at creating suspense. I went in not entirely knowing what to expect, and was pleasantly surprised. I love to listen to audiobooks while doing hand projects, so to find this audiobook made me quite happy.
