The book that I was reading starts out with a teenage girl, named Green describing her family and herself. She considered her self to be a quiet and dark person, but kind, she said her sister Aurora was a smart, outgoing, happy, pretty, person, her dad was a hard working, and caring man, and her mom was gentle and kind. She never seemed to be happy with her life, and found herself to be very rude to her family, even though she still cared and loved them very much. All she considered herself to be good at is working in the garden and admiring her nice sister. One day she decided to take a walk in the woods that was at a hilltop of her town. When she reached the top she looked at the town down below, and saw it burn away with flames. She was in such a big shock that she did not move, or say anything. All she though about was that the people she was rude to and that loved her wre now gone. This changed her life completely because now 2/3 of the people in town, including her family were gone and she would now have to live alone. After this terrible tragedy she changed her name, looks, and began to hallucinate everyday. She had to live with mental problems for a long time, and also had to find food for herself.
I thought this book was interesting, due to all the details the book had. I like how it would describe the characters feelings, and a good vivid picture could be made by reading this book. I did not like that it was really depressing, I just did not think I can be too comfortable reading these types of books. It was depressing becsue from one day to the other, Green's family dies and she begins to hallucinate.I also thought it was too random, I felt like it was pointless to read it at times. It would talk abotu how she baked bread, then it talked about a boy that would appear near the woods.
