I really enjoyed this.
The voice was charming—and carried throughout the book. The flashbacks and asides were a touch confusing at points, but it matched the way Bea talked and told stories, so I liked it, and it deepened the story.
The details were imaginative.
Many of the supporting characters were a bit too perfect, but I don't mind that sometimes. The only problem was that it made the one character seem over-the-top bad.
The events of the plot were unusual, interesting in a quiet way. I'd just read an action-packed book before this. Yet I found "The List of Things that will not Change" far more page-turning than the other. So, if you're a reader like me, you'll love it.
From the description, I thought it would be more about Bea's relationship with her new sister, so I felt a little disappointed that there wasn't more interaction between them, but I liked everything else that filled the book.
The writing itself was excellent.
I will certainly read more by Rebecca Stead.
