Thoughts: This book was out of this world. I thought this book would be okay, but nothing prepared me for this. I loved how Melody J. Breman made every single thing in the book, whether it was small or big, seem like you knew what was happening, when you really didn't. There was tons of surprises. I also loved the main character - Indigo - is always able to find the silver lining, or look on the bright side of things. This was very inspiring, making Indigo a great role model. For example, when Jane, his best freind, (spoiler) got arested for shoplifting, Indigo never gives up, and, even in the worst of times, still follows his dreams. Overall, this was an amazing, emotional, realistic fiction book.
