![]() ![]() I liked how Emily Delgado was characterized, but boy. Differentiating the two becomes easier as the book moves along, but it is annoying to confuse characters. In the beginning of the book, I confused Emily and Elizabeth a lot. I was expecting a little more character development from Rodriguez. There was one thing that happened in this book that created grief and aggravation for me Rodriguez spoils her audience at the beginning of the book! She doesn't completely spoil it, but for readers like me, who read in between the lines, the one detail that is given away at the beginning of the book makes it so much easier to figure out what really happens. In a way, it makes sense for Rodriguez to do that because Emily Dickinson had quite an interesting and complicated life, but it makes for a very complicated and intricate book. I loved the concept, but I felt like there was too much going on for it to be a complete, graspable book. I enjoyed this book, but I didn't love this book. ![]() Two girls - Emily Delgado and Elizabeth Davis - share their initials with Emily Dickinson. As an English teacher and lover of literature, I was immediately drawn to this book at the mention of Emily Dickinson. Rodriguez is an ambitious YA novel with a very intriguing concept. ![]() Originally reviewed on The Hardcover Lover. ![]()
