I honestly did not realize that Because I am Furniture was a book written in poetry and verses until my friend pointed it out. And because poetry and verses were not my forte nor is it my considered my interest, it was hard to get into the book. Plus, it took only like 20 words to describe a whole scene which means, not a lot of details. I don't like details but I still need them to get what's happening. However, what I did like about Because I am Furniture was the flow of the words. Because it's in poetry format, it was a very quick read and only took about an hour to read a 300 page book. I liked the subjects that Thalia had incorporated - rape, abuse, family and friendship. And it's because of those subjects that Because I am Furniture became a gripping novel. The main character of this book, Anke, is what you would want to protagonist to be: strong, brave and courageous. Though at first, she was afraid of her father and just stood in the sidelines watching him abuse her family. However, when she finally realizes that she has a voice, she uses it to save her family. She had to struggle between what's right and what's wrong and ultimately make a sacrifice. To break her family to save it or to keep her family and break it. Honestly though, I couldn't tell whey her father didn't abuse Anke. He abused her siblings to get to her but never to her directly. I don't think Thalia really covered this topic in Because I am Furniture. He even ended up abusing people out of her family but never to her. Overall, Because I am Furniture is a compelling novel that reaches out and encourages the abused to take a stand.

2.5. The extra half star mostly for the cover. Interesting premise, but it failed for me in large part for one reason: I hated Ruby. And this is a novel that needs you to believe in the beautiful magic of the most narcissistic, vicious character I have ever read. Suma spends so much time in the beginning "telling" me all about how wonderful Ruby is instead of "showing" me anything, that the more Chloe went on about how charming her sister was, the more I couldn't wait for her to wake up and realize how reckless and controlling she was. Alas, she never does. She just keeps trying to convince me otherwise. But that's not the only reason the novel bothered me. Suma never sets up or develops her scenes. She throws you in the middle of it and then waits until after you're confused to give you description. For example, there's a scene where her and London are standing in the village green and London shouts at her if she's coming, only after the dialogue does Suma explain that London is in a car that wasn't there before. The whole novel is like that and after awhile it wore on me always trying to figure out what was going on. Without developed scenes, nothing fully happened, just the shadow of a scene here, the hint of something happening there, nothing more than all these little questions that come up so that by the end I wasn't sure if all of my questions had been answered. It was so frustrating to read, I almost quit a hundred times. My biggest frustration is Suma kept getting in the way of the story, purposely stopping me from funding anything out to create the sense of mystery. A few discoveries to pique my interest or a bit of wonder from Chloe would have gone a long way to pull me into the story. Chloe never wondered why strange things were happening, or if she bought into them, explained to us why she didn't need to ask the right questions. And if she ever did get close to asking them, Suma interrupted the scene to keep us from finding anything out. I understand the feel of magic, the mystery that Suma was going for, but she went about the wrong way creating that eerie feeling. I never quite worked up the ability to suspend my disbelief when Chloe never worked up a sense of wonder herself. There were times when she showed hope of trying to figure out the mystery of what Olive and Ruby where doing to the town, but then she'd settle back into her content oblivion and I was left with all my questions. The most interesting line in the novel was the statement that just maybe Chloe was locked up in PA imagining all of this. I wish that had been expounded on more. I like that there's a hint of magic without a firm resolve and I loved the eerie quality of the story, but I'd rather Chloe had been a little more proactive, to be amazed or confused or anything other than merely enthralled with Ruby and trying to convince me to be the same. There was a lot of promise in this novel. Suma shows some talent with words. With easy edits I could have loved it. Maybe Suma's next novel will be better developed.
