Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
Rose is out
helping to find her chemistry lab partner, Theo. He has disappeared, and no one knows what
happened to him. He is a loner by choice
and no one really knows a lot about him.
This is how the story begins.
The author, then,
places Theo on Rose’s doorstep. She gets
pulled into the situation that Theo finds himself. Rose walks a straight line
when it comes to her behavior. Her
relationship with her parents is almost nonexistent. They are never home, and Rose always just
relied on her brother.
So, when
Theo shows up, Rose is thrown for a loop.
She has never done anything like it.
She hides Theo and keeps his location a secret from everyone. The author constantly has her questioning
herself. This story really pushes her
out of her comfort zone.
She and Theo
grow closer as they spend time together.
Rose starts to learn more about Theo.
I liked how both characters faced internal issues throughout the
story. As a result, Rose really grew
into herself. Theo also opened up
more. His family situation was not what
was expected. I understand why he did
what he did, but his actions may not have been the best choice. He did, however, force change with those
involved.
I also loved
the fact that Theo basically likes Rose, but no one never knew because of his
chosen isolation. The pairing was sweet
but placed into difficult situations. I
liked how the story progressed yet wanted to shake Rose’s parents. What was wrong with them. They chose work over their children. Other than that bit of character issues, it
was a great read. I give it a 4 out of
5.
