I bought this book at Barnes and nobles bargain section based on a quick scan of its description in the cover. I figured if I didn't like it, i was only wasting $4. As i got into the book, i enjoyed it more and more, i felt for Rose who couldn't understand why she was treated differently than everyone else. and i could almost understand why everyone kept her true gender a secret. Although the book could be a bit confusing at times, with some chapters having a scene that didn't really make any sense among the rest. it was an enjoyable read for $4. and i will probably read it again sometime.
