Jo has a secret. Her secret is a twin who lives in the woods. For 15 years no one knew about Lee, until the day she attacks a boy from town. Now the sisters are on the run. How far will they go to protect each other?

It’s hard to know where to start with this review, so I’m just going to jump around a bit, don’t expect a single cohesive thought here.

Some Kind of Animal is primarily a book about running. Running for pleasure and running to stay alive. Running towards a new life and running from the past.

The plot almost seems to be rambling a bit as the book goes on, but I actually found that to be a benefit to the book. Our main character’s life is officially out of control and the writing really makes you feel that. Jo has no idea what’s coming next for her and neither do we.

The story ends on a hopeful note, which can almost make you forget that so much is left unresolved. What will become of the character’s Romasco-Moore has just spent so much time making us care about? Well, I guess that’s up to the reader, because the book certainly isn’t telling!

This is a very strange read, but also a pretty enjoyable read.
