Rated of 5

i have never read a book so quickly--i felt like Beckett as i read it. At fifteen years old, i was extremely able to relate to Beckett's confused mind, as I am a very observant individual like herself. I certainly hope that Jane Mendelsohn realizes what a masterpiece she has created, and that she lured readers into a special bond with the heroine. =)

Shelley:
I happened upon this book quite by accident, bought it impulsively and completed it that same night. Never have I devoured a novel so quickly and thoroughly! Innocence is truly a marvel, twisting the themes of romance and science fiction mystery in a fresh, updated way. The struggles of adolescence and self are paired with gruesome murder and dark fantasy. Many accolades to Jane Mendelsohn on creating a delicately complex work of written genius.
