Finn O’Sullivan seems to be from a typical small rural town of Bone Gap. He
resides with his brother Sean, who puts his education on hold to stay home
until Sean graduates. They were abandoned by their mom for her own personal
happiness which leaves the siblings quite uncomfortable. Finn have earned nick
names like Moonface and Sidetrack due to the fact that he never look people in
the eye. This is probably why he is unable to identify the person who kidnapped
his friend Roza, the sweet and loving Polish girl roommate, in a SUV and now
her safety relies on him. Traveling by a mysterious black horse, Finn becomes
aware mystical worlds of Bone Gap and begins to believe that he can save his
friend.
I found that after reading Bone Gap left me with mixed
reviews on the book. I feel that Laura Ruby uniquely addresses the aspects of
trust, love, helplessness and even sexual encounters while keeping readers
guessing with each turn of the page. I liked how each of the human emotions
were used at just the right times right moments. My only dislike for the book
for the sudden flipping from reality to mystery, it was a little confusing for
me as a reluctant fantasy reader. However, I would suggest this book my avid
female young adult readers, who enjoy titles such as Twilight, will enjoy
moments of love to the anxious anticipation of what the future may hold for
each of the characters.
