I started reading this book years ago and then forgot all about it. Honestly, I found the storyline hard to get into; I kept putting it off. It felt like it took forever to get to the main point of the story, which I found very uninteresting. The story gained some momentum toward the middle, and there was an element of mystery. I found the deaf character very hard to follow, perhaps that could have been written better.
I loved Gisela’s story and wanted more focus on her instead of the spray boys. I also felt like there were too many untied loose ends.
