Kissed has some fantastical features about it but it's really a story of hope. I loved the mystery behind Naomi's background.  The story kept me guessing and utterly absorbed in what would happen next.  Naomi's acclimation to society and what was "normal" for kids her age brought about my compassion for her, as well as my anger directed at bullies like Ricki.  Somewhere in all that mix Loth intertwined the thorny path with beautiful roses.  Any references to gardening brought me back to my own backyard solace, giving me a connection with Naomi.There are a few situations with profanity in the book, but they're mild enough that I wouldn't hesitate to give this book to my nieces.  There are some scary situations involving serious abuse, as well as mentions of sexual situations, that might be disturbing to younger readers.  For that reason, I would suggest this book for mature teens.  Kissed is a great read and I can't wait for the next one!  I received this book to review. The opinions shared here are 100% mine.
