Between, by Jessica Warman

Between



This cover is so magical.
The lonely girl on the swing, hiding her face (and her secrets) behind her hair.
The empty swings behind her speak to me of great losses.
Her feet partly hidden by clouds, make me think of a person who wants to flee from reality.
The wholeness of the cover tells me this story: a young woman, who has suffered great losses, is trying to escape reality by living in her imagination, but she is forced by the pain of her past and present to stay in the reality. The story in the book may of course be completely different.
What are your thoughts on this cover?
