      I started this book yesterday afternoon, and simply couldn't stop reading it. It is amazing! If you enjoy character-driven stories that make you feel like you're living the story, not just reading about it, I cannot recommend this novel highly enough. Just make sure you have some time, as I don't think you'll want to put it down, either :)

      I just really like her style. Like all good writers she draws you in by making the emotions real, so you're constantly thinking, yea I understand why you behave so.
