One of my all-time favorites. Love the symbolism and prose! Love the contrast between the glamorous and shimmering lifestyle, and the deep sadness of the characters.
Read this back in middle school and cannot say it holds true for myself but also those striving through unique struggles of their own.
I was supposed to have read this in 10th grade but didn't finish. Finally I got back to it & read it all in a day. I liked it, but the greatness of it didn't jump out at me like I was hoping. I think there is more to it then what I garnered, so a re-read may be in order...
