Thank you for creating this heartfelt novel.

I like the way it is not too much, but just the right amount. I especially struggle with making good figurative language and I enjoyed reading the book.

By you referencing different song names and art throughout the story, it set the mood for that particular scene.

My name is Layla. One of my favorite subjects is art. My favorite hobby is playing music. I find it so cool that your story included so many interesting connections. I also love the symbols you used throughout the story, especially the symbol of music. I was wondering... How did you come up with all these ideas for your books and is it easy for you? What was the process of creating books, and getting them published and sold? I want to illustrate and even write some of my own books, so that's why I'm asking. :)
Thank you for writing this amazing book. I love reading different stories, and I definitely would like to look into your other books. I'm curious, what is your favorite book? Also, what is your favorite book of your own?]]> 2022-11-29 18:47:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ritagoodwin2/uu52iorngh4yb0xa/wish/2402421553 Hey Mrs. Danticat! https://padlet.com/ritagoodwin2/uu52iorngh4yb0xa/wish/2403657317 My name is Ava! I hope your day is going well๐Ÿ˜Š. Here is a little about me: My favorite subject is art, and my favorite hobby is reading. Speaking of reading, I really like your book. Like a lot. I love how you captured a teenager's mind perfectly. Also, the flashbacks are my favorite parts. One second, you're living in the present, and then another you're teleported to the past, experiencing the emotions and events Giselle experienced. I like to read a book where it's not just words on a page. It's living in the book, or like you're watching a movie, and you really captured that aspect. I'm glad my path of life brought me across this book, because I can tell how much work and dedication you put into this. 
   Thank you ๐Ÿ’–.

I really liked how much the character seemed almost real. Giselle's character is interesting. She feel all kinds of mixed emotions and I find it more interesting when the character has a complex personality. I also like how you get to read about how different events drastically change her moods and thoughts.. This is a great book, and I can't wait to meet you.
