Uplit has different tones - this one felt quite different. I felt like I was meeting these people for the first time and not as duplicates of those I had read about before.I did not go in with any specific expectations since this is the author's debut.

All The Broken Places by John Boyne
Books I have reviewed by the author on the blog earlier: A Ladder to the Sky, The Echo Chamber I must begin by admitting that I have found that I have an affinity for the author's works.
