Summery:
This novel is based on an old folk song called "Scarborough Fair". Lucy Scarborough is 17, and her mother is insane. Stark raving mad. Lucy lives with her foster parents and has a pretty normal life - until she goes to the prom. She is raped by her date, who then immediately runs out and kills himself. Lucy becomes pregnant. She also finds out that her family is cursed to be raped when 17, have a daughter when 18, and then go mad after the child is born. She can only break the curse by doing three impossible tasks. Along the way, she falls in love and gets married. It's full of weird magic, teenage love, and that persistent Simon and Garfunkle song you're humming already.
Response: Eh. Didn't like it. I have a problem with fantasy and magic. I have a bigger problem with teenage lovers. The writing was so-so. I finished it just because I'm obsessive like that. Only read it if you really like this kind of thing.
Word of Caution: Rape. Creepy elfin knight dude.
