This was a very strange, modern fairy tale. It started with Kaye, her mom and her mom's boyfriend in a bar. Kaye is a young girl, who smokes, drinks, and has dropped out of school to do deliveries for a Chinese restaurant. Kaye and her mom, Ellen, move back to Jersey Shore, in her grand-mother's house. She hooks up with her childhood-friend Janet, and things are just weird. They go to a party, Kaye is upstairs and makes a broken wooden-horse stand up on its' legs, where Janet's boyfriend Kenny sees her. He starts to touch her, until she runs away.When walking home, she finds a hurt fairy, Roiben, near the road, and she helps him get an arrow out and to get help from a kelpie.The whole story was a little confusing to me, and even at the very end, it does not make a whole lot of sense. I guess what it made me think the most is that fairies, and yes, Kaye is also a fairy, are even weirder than I thought before...*My reviews are personal reflections of what I read and take notes of. It is in no way meant to dissuade a person from reading a book from authors who put a lot of work into their stories. I do not get paid for my reviews nor have I been asked to give my opinions concerning these books. This book, like most of the others I've read belongs to my kindle-collection*
