This is a contemporary variation of Alice in Wonderland when a 16 year old girl can see both human and faerie worlds and finds herself caught in the middle of a nasty faerie war.You will meet characters that will remind you of the Mad Hatter, the Queen, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum as well as more ordinary characters such as the boy whose pants were so tight you could "see the outline of his balls".  (He's not the one who is "slapping groins" with Zoe's sister so it really isn't that important anyway)There are several "hate-you-love-you-hate-you" relationship and emotional shifts that occur rapidly and often without cause that they are definitely reminiscent of a hormonally charged adolescence.  There is a little too much ambiguity as the author attempts to tell a long story in a short amount of time.It is a fast paced tale to the end although you might feel like you fell thru a rabbit hole.
