So each thing I loved, I really loved and each thing I disliked, I really disliked. The characters: twisted, messed up, and very well developed.The writing: it’s absolutely gorgeous and lyrical.Ultimately I settled on 3 stars instead of 2 because I really liked certain parts without really loving the entire book. I’ve never had such a hard time rating a book because “Wink Poppy Midnight” is confusing in itself and I was even more confused with how I felt about it. This was a book that I expected to enjoy much more than I actually did in the end, I was pretty disappointed. I have no idea what happened or how I’m supposed to feel about it now. Let me sum up this entire book and review with one word: confusion. Three voices that burst onto the page in short, sharp, bewitching chapters, and spiral swiftly and inexorably toward something terrible or tricky or tremendous. Midnight is the sweet, uncertain boy caught between them. Poppy is the blond bully and the beautiful, manipulative high school queen bee. Wink is the odd, mysterious neighbor girl, wild red hair and freckles.
