DNF. It wasn't that I couldn't have finished reading this tale about an experiment in child-rearing, largely seen through the lens of teenage-mum Izzy. But I was neither invested in the experiment, nor in what happened to the not-entirely realised main characters, and the perfunctorily described lesser characters. I'd continue if it were the only book available to me. But with a tottering pile of must-reads demanding my attention, this just doesn't make the grade.

haven’t stopped thinking about this since i read it 4 months ago
i love how tender and heartfelt the writing is
i love thé realistic story with the aspect of the fire kids being just a slightly off take from reality
