First things first, this story of an American girl going to live with her cousins in England only to find themselves cut off from the world by terrorism is *not* really about incest. Incest does occur, yes. But it is not focused on very much and mostly occurs off-screen. What this book is really about is growing up surrounded by the uncertainty in a world of terrorism. Daisy's narration is incredibly appealing, and the first 2/3 of the book do an excellent job of expressing the feelings young people are growing up with in the world today. Unfortunately, the end of the book kind of goes off the rails with an out of left field scenario that seems to belong in an entirely different book.
Recommended for fans of YA dystopia with a focus on terrorism who don't mind a bit of an off-putting ending.
