4.8 out of 5 stars

This was very close to a 5 star read for me, but for some reason I cannot shake the passive aggressiveness of the main character. It really bothered me that over and over in this book Kathy wanted to say things but held back. Or she felt things, but pushed them away. I was waiting for a really good moment to come up where she would confront Ruth about the way she acted all the time. Kathy just walking away from all these little tiffs drove me nuts. Overall this was a beautiful story and the end made me cry. I really enjoyed the mystery that the place called Hailsham represented.
