Kelli Waites's Reviews > About a Girl

** spoiler alert **
In all honesty, it was a decent book. Being a young adult reader, there was a lot of scientific terms tossed around that i didn't fully understand. The way it was wrote, was nice but aggravating at times. I'm stubborn and had an interest in how it ended so i pushed through it. Tally, the main character, runs off at the mere chance of a stranger being her dad. She arrives at a place where she continuously forgets things and loses track of time. Her mom, who had "abandoned" her as a baby, was non-existent till the end of the book. In the beginning her and her friend Shane were best friends and she had grown more feelings for him. Although when things get steamy between the two, they act as strangers. When she met Jack, who was believed to be her father, he'd would go sailing and delay her reason for appearance. Along the way, she meets Maddie, the golden eyed mysterious girl. She believes she had fallen in love but soon realizes the had to head home. In the end of her voyage, her story falls into place. She is Atlanta and her mother is Aurora, their story goes back many years, before the stars appeared in the skies. Maddy, withholding magic, helps Aurora meet her mother. She walks across the sea and into a dark place much like the Underworld. There she learns that her mother couldn't leave again. once had been enough for her and Tally couldn't stay. On the way back Tally is late, she gets attacked by creatures under the waters and but eventually fights her way out. She goes home and makes up with Shane and continues on with her life. this left me with so many questions. Do he rand Shane build a relationship? Would she be able to go see her mom again?
In all, this book was good but frustrating.
