"On a ferry departing Seattle, Nico encounters a slight blond guy with piercing blue eyes wearing a hooded jacket. Something in her heart tells her that this feeling she has might actually be the truth, so she follows him to a remote cabin in the Pacific Northwest. When she is stranded there by a winter storm, fear and darkness collide, and the only one who can save Nico might just be herself. Nico Cavan has been adrift since her mother vanished when she was four—maternal abandonment isn't exactly something you can just get over. Staying invisible at school is how she copes—that and listening to alt music and summoning spirits on the Ouija board with her best friend and co-conspirator in sarcasm, Obe. But when a chance discovery opens a window onto her mom's wild past, it sparks an idea in her brain that takes hold and won't let go."
I was really excited to read this book and actually pre-ordered it way back when it came out in Spring. The reason I was drawn to this book, was as you might guess, Kurt Cobain. When in high school, I also, had a stage where there went no day by, when I wasn't listening to Nirvana - or any other grunge or rock music for that matter.
I always have been interested in him, and have watched some documentaries about him, so when I heard about this book I pre-ordered it. Now that I read it, I can't say that it lived up to my hopes.
I had quite the struggles with our main character Nico(la). In this book she makes a whole bunch of big discussions, and for me as reader, it was very annoying to see that she wasn't thinking about the consequences and feelings of other people.
What I did like were all the facts about Kurt that were in it. As I mentioned I find him quite interesting and I now know some more facts about him, which I didn't know at first.
It is not a story I would re-read and I also wouldn't really recommend but you can always give it a go!
