Scandal in a small town

A very distinct book marked with the author's distinct writing style. Marveously put together; the words seem to flow so readily off the page and into your mind. This is a book that will leave you thinking. It takes you through the portion of a girl's life, ages 14 to 22, who lives in a small hamlet. Her life becomes extremely intricate and filled with complicated, deep secrets. Foreshadowing is used a lot, and some events merely mentioned on the first page aren't entirely explained until much later in the story. This girl's story, named Stick, takes you from the small quiet hamlet that is much more scandolous than it originally seems, to the streets of New York, and then back again. People become friends, become enemies ,and become lovers.I would highly reccomend this book.
