It was heartbreaking watching past Marin go through the things she did and it was hard seeing how it all changed her in the present. The main underlying plot seemed to be Marin finally confronting and accepting what happened and I think it was played out beautifully. There was a lot of backstory about before Marin ran away that was woven in with the present story of Marin and Mabel in the dorm that helped the reader to understand the history between the girls and I found myself thoroughly enjoying both parts of the story. I think it, along with the history between Marin and Mabel, really allowed the reader to feel closer to the two girls and almost helped them confront the things that have been left unsaid. There is a strong feeling of isolation that I think played a huge role in the story. The two characters spend most of the book together in Marin's dorm with a snow storm raging outside. Marin is preparing to spend an entire month alone at her college dorm for Winter break but just has to get through a visit from her old best friend first. That being said, I did like the storyline so very much. This book is not a very plot-driven book, in my opinion, but rather a character driven one.
