Very, very, very rich language especially to describe the environment – nature, fishes, flowers, etc to contrast with the two main characters/lovers feelings: Vinca and Phil. This was a very enthralling read – the tribulations of first love, first experiences, and overall the transition from childhood to adolescence.

“Those we love never truly leave us, Harry. There are things that death cannot touch.” 

“In every shining moment of happiness is that drop of poison: the knowledge that pain will come again. Be honest to those you love, show your pain. To suffer is as human as to breathe.”
