I love the uncertainty that shadows not only the mystery, but also the puzzle that is Finn. We see Finn as he’s navigating life after the kidnap, trying to piece the mystery together despite the mistrust from the people of Bone Gap. The narration mainly follows Finn and Roza in alternate chapter. His brother, Sean, in love with Roza but too cowardly to go after her, having been abandoned once too many times. The town scrutinises him, the boy who was always dismissed as spacey, and questions his involvement. Only Finn witnessed her kidnapping, though he is at a loss in describing her captors. When the beautiful Roza goes missing, the previously sleepy town of Bone Gap is lights up with speculations and half-hearted gossip. The girl they loved most – and knew least of all – was gone. OK, I had fun with that, but if that was too weird for you guys, here’s the regular text review: Write a short story using only the Chapter Titles in BONE GAP Gaps just wide enough for people to slip through, Serve with a fresh dose of perspective, accompanied by beautiful words.Ĭompose a poem using only quotes from BONE GAPĭozens of honeybees whirled like tiny moons in a orbit, Avoid contaminating the mixture with love polygons and conventional plots. Mix in a magical steed, a beast, a dash of casual cruelty, a twist on reality. Marinate the remaining boy in 1 teaspon of anger, 1 teaspoon of guilt, and a heap of insecurity. Take another girl, queen of bees: ensure she has more sting than honey: combine her with 1 boy. Leave 1 girl to stand, trapped in a prison guarded by 1 man, 1 beast, and a pinch of misogyny Hopefully.ĭescribe the plot of BONE GAP in recipe format

I hope I do the book justice! But if this part is too odd for you, feel free to skip down to the main review below! I am going to write part this review in a slightly different style than usual, inspired by the strange writing prompts that Petey and Finn trades throughout the book. The book also confronts how society views women: it’s uncomfortable, at times it makes my skin crawl, but it’s 100% necessary. The book inspects the difference between the faces the world sees VS the people we are. Bone Gap is modern fairy tale and magical realism at its finest.
