PositiveThe New York Times Book ReviewThrough the Groves isn’t just another lament about a ruined paradise. Hull’s time-stamp of Florida is the muggy, buggy, sun-beaten setting for a girl struggling first for a social toehold, then for a way out ... She has that sly eye for sublime details, but also a killer instinct for tight storytelling ... The topic of her sexuality runs somewhat lightly throughout, and I wish she would have spent more time dealing with the experience of coming out when and where she did.
