I feel like he wasn't actually interested in her - Leah was seeing things she wanted to see (not WANTED to see, but immediately assumed she was seeing). Remember when Therese was saying how he talks about Leah's gold eyes? That's when I figured, he doesn't actually like Therese! She's a cover-up because he likes Leah but can't acknowledge it, given that Leah is currently acting the part of a boy! :DAlyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00128004483437247740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-22336276283898327152015-08-10T09:19:35.545-04:002015-08-10T09:19:35.545-04:00Haha, not quite as depressing as The Grapes of Wra...Haha, not quite as depressing as The Grapes of Wrath, but I know what you mean.

Mostly because, although the cover is totally amazing, it just doesn't look like me. At all. But I ADORE the world building in her other series. I'll have to think about this one a bit more.

As far as the story as a whole, I feel like this book was set up for the trilogy and also a bit of Leah figuring out her identity apart from all the things that had defined her life before (namely, her parents and taking care of them). But I agree, it didn't make for the most exciting story out there, but it was still mildly enjoyable. :)Kelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00938626223222252300noreply@blogger.com
