On another note, this book really touched me, I felt the heartache that Julia felt when she had to give up her baby, it made me ache so bad for her. I think this is why she is so nurturing towards Emily. Once you are a mother there is no going back, you will always have that nurturing side, and it doesn't matter who it is! I haven't fully experienced it yet because I haven't been able to get past my first trimester, but it's like something changes inside you and it can't be helped. I can also relate to Julia about the depression part, while I wasn't a cutter, I was a depression eater, I believed "comfort" food would actually comfort me, so I ate. I guess I just see a lot of myself in her, I think that's why I connected to her so well.
When I pictured Sawyer, I pictured the guy from lost, he's such a sweet guy and I'm so glad he persisted to reconnect with Julia, to make her feel again. I think I cried when he found out that he had a daughter to me it was such a touching moment for him.
The Coffeys, at first I think I even mentioned to Allyssa that I thought they were werewolves because they didn't go out at night. Although when Julia told Emily not to follow the lights, or pay them any mind I kind of put 2 and 2 together and figured that the lights and the Coffey's had something to do with each other. But what a sad story about Win's uncle, that he wanted to commit suicide to get out of that family!
One final thought though I just have to point out that she used the word "undulating" a lot and it was driving me crazy, I kept thinking of Ms. Perkies from 10 things I hate about you, when she was writing her book!
I loved this book so much, such an awesome tale of magic and not the wand waving, cursing kind of magic either. It just goes to show you that magic can be in all forms, from cakes calling people, mood changing wallpaper, to glowing in the dark!
