Great assessment of the novel. Your summary left me a little wanting at times, it's hard to not spoil a book that's covered in twists, but if you're going to mention specifics you need to explain them a little. The one that bothered me was the time travel... Why did the girls go to the future when their dad died, is it as simple as because there were more foster families there? I don't know if it is but that wouldn't have spoiled much, and if the real answer would just leave that part out... Because right now it makes it seem like the book doesn't make sense.
I would have to say that I am a little lost as well. The circumstances of the young girl's adventure seem unclear to me. Also, we can't control life? I don't know if I would agree with that. If I were to teach a class, I would want to encourage ideas of responsibility and autonomy. Doing the opposite, in my opinion, might have negative psycho-cultural implications.
