I like Philippa Gregory, even though most of her books are so similar in style and material I can only handle about one every 2 years. When I saw that she had a YA novel out, I was intrigued and hoped it would be suitable for my 10 year old.
It was a good book and I enjoyed reading it. However, there was the following which I'm not ready for my 10 year old to read about:
1. Almost rape scene.
2. Goose shit and damned.
3. Graphic autopsy scene.
4. Some inappropriate sexual innuendos.
While I love a good book about a girl-guy relationship, I'd prefer her read more friendship based attraction and not so blatantly sexual.
So, if you like YA, this is a good book, but more for an adult or older kid.
