There are many more books for isolated young people that previously, and that is a good thing. All that baby boomers had was "Huckleberry Finn" and "Catcher in the Rye" - which was just not enough. Seanan McGuire's novel contains isolation as a theme, but combined with fantasy. Really can't say much more than that without being a spoiler, except the book is lively and imaginative with, given its short length, many intriguing, well-drawn characters. The title makes it seem very "hearts-and-flowers" romantic, which it is not.
