i feel like the proper emotional beats got scrambled and a little lost in the delivery, but all the pieces were there and they GENERALLY locked together nicely, so.yeah

i appreciate kirby's conflicted feelings towards her mom. I felt like she was dropped in the ending and we all forgot about her, but for someone who expected ONLY kirby and daniel to be the pair of rebellious awesome break-away teens while everyone else were god-fearing pests, i liked how close kirby got to the kids and how caring she became - in her own wild way. loved loved loved how kirby became a big sister to Maggie, and how important Maggie was. a goddamn fireball who i found pretty funny, wild, reckless, and for all her big talk, still had a heart and kindness to give to her 'siblings' and some of the church kids who she was initially a snot about This was so short and left me somewhere in the realm of "eh, okay," so i'm not even gonna pretend to format this like a proper review. Do you ever feel like the only person on goodreads who Didn't Get It
