I found the book to be very well-written and emotional. It was a bit of a slow start, but once I read into the first five or so chapters I couldn’t put it down. It was thrilling, happy, heartbreaking, and an overall fantastic story. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone, you will not be disappointed after reading it, although you may cry.
