Okay, I guess I saved the best for last. Officially my favorite, 10/10 due to its writer's craft!
This novel is written as a poem. It comes in two forms and two voices! The actually forces you to read the book twice. To find out how she does this, you must read the "Diving Deeper: Notes on Form." I am not giving away that last bit of info!!!! Don't cheat!!!
How can I tell this book is written in poetry form? What are the two forms? What is the point of view of this book? How can a book be a poem and a novel at the same time?! Incredible, easy to read and inspiring. It is a great storyline also. It does follow the lines of moving to a new place and making relationships just like every other Mark Twain Nominee this year.

Can you write a story that is also a poem?
