The green is all about the garden that the main character has as "a friend." The word "complicated" is used in a good way. This speculative fiction story is one of those I would put in the literary fiction category. Ruth, injured in The Incident, is a strange girl growing up in the rather quaint but relatable, small town of Foxglove, Texas. After her injury, Ruth is able to hear and dream about the memories of the dead, which could in fact be a bit traumatic since she's living with her father in a graveyard.
The book moves at the perfect pace, not too fast and not too slow. With each chapter I found myself trying to unravel the mystery of her missing friend (the Emily in the title), and when it was revealed in the end, I was not disappointed. There are distinct themes within this book of coming-of-age, bullying, depression, and hope. It is the hope with which Weems leaves the reader and for that I am thankful.
