I literally can't decide between 2 stars or 3 stars aaargh aaaaaaargh arghhhhhh.
I thought the main character's voice was compelling, and I liked the ending a lot. The problem is, a lot of the subplots seemed really half-baked. Although maybe I'm feeling put out because the Jamie-Isa relationship was the most interesting to me, but it was underdeveloped (and yet supposed to drive a lot of the plot.)
Also I'm so over characters' passwords being some Plot Point Meaningful Word. Also writing out Connie's lisp was incredibly irritating.
I dunno, I dunno. I don't regret reading this one, and a lot of the writing is precise and evocative all at once. I think I just wish I got more out of it.
