I was intrigued by the dichotomy of the lyrical/visual/emotive narration of the main character's thoughts and perspective contrasted with the realistic hard bluntness of the dialogue. The main character's (Renae) voice is compelling as is her story. I could relate to the way she sees the world and the author helped me to feel it the way she does as well. Renae is strong and yet she spends much of her life hiding from events from her past, people who really "see" her, her own family and her feelings about it all. In the end though, she grows as a character and comes out of hiding.A line I loved: "It takes quiet to find what you don't remember losing, and that's why people sometimes fight being in the quiet and being alone."
