Great review, Leah. Well-organized and thoughtful as always! I liked your break-down, it gives a really great overview of Sykosa. When you have a moment would you mind cross-posting to Amazon and GoodReads? That would be gewd (see I don't forget!)

Thanks for being an awesome part of this tour!

Thanks so much for your thoughtful review! And I'm very flattered by your comment about my cross-gender writing skills (tho, Sykosa won't let me take too much credit, cause she's afraid it'll go to my head and I'll be impossible to deal with ~_^). The mystery aspect of the novel is one of my favorite and it definitely does not get resolved at the end of Part I. I debated revealing it, but I thought the ending worked better as a kind of cliff-hanger, plus, the reveal of what happened in Part II is really, really cool and I didn't want to spoil it. Once again, thanks so much for reading Sykosa, it's always fun to meet someone who got so much from the book (and someone who went outside her comfort zone to do so)!

Best,
Justin

I vote no to losing her virginity and yes to confronting what happened years earlier. And like you, I’d want to know what happened. Maybe book 2 will reveal that. =)
