(4) YA By following rules such as "never...talk about it," Alison numbs herself to an unnamed tragedy and, consequently, her sophomore year. The nature of the tragedy and the bulk of her rules are revealed quite late, making it difficult to relate to and sympathize with Alison until the novel's final pages, but the story is moving nevertheless.
