Negative Positive
Title: Gritty, coming-of-age story
Review: The protagonist of White Oleander, Astrid, becomes very real for the reader. She is put in impossible situations and does the best that she can. Watching her grow and come to terms with her mother and herself was inspiring. Her decision that comes at the end of the book is a brave one and shows that she has become the kind of woman that her mother always spoke of, but never was herself.
