Ah, such a satisfying story! Excellent job for a debut novel. I loved the first-person narration, and how Amaryllis is an honest and pleasant character to get to know. She has to face the past, of the summer she was fourteen and her life fell apart, and we see it unfolding as she faces the events all over again, bit by bit. She obviously won't be able to move on with her life until she looks at it frankly and learns how to deal with the truth, instead of shying away from the horror of what she'd felt.
I enjoyed every minute, could hardly put it down...and the HERO! Way to write a good guy, one who might get frustrated at times, but who still is determined to overcome the obstacles and gain his goal. :)
It's a good thing books two and three are in the mail, because I don't want to wait longer than necessary to get them!
