CRITIQUE

 I really enjoyed this book and I thought it was very entertaining and interesting, because of the twist, turns and other parts. My favorite part of the story was when Agnes was eating at Aram's house and his mom would not stop putting food on Agnes' plate and Aram had to tell her to stop, and they spoke a different language so she could not understand what hey were saying. I would definitely recommend this book to many other people.
