9/100
This whole thing started out as a YA teen angst kind of story that turned into an alien abduction with a twist.
I'm not sure if I liked it or not. I've discovered, this past year, that I am not a fan of young adult fiction - since I'm nearly 50.
What I ultimately found disappointing was how it all ended. I would rather have the author utilize some of the alien awesomeness she introduced instead of going for a cheap happy ending. It's strange really, you would think this ending, which is kind of different, would work but, somehow, it just fell flat for me.
I decided - I'm still not sure if I like it or not.
I've spent a lot of time thinking about this story.
Maybe that's the point.
