LOVED this book!!!! This would have to be one of the BEST books I have ever read.
I cannot possibly write a review to give it the justice it deserves, so I will keep it short. It has an incredible plot that blew my mind and is filled with real characters who are unforgettable. The way this story unravelled was amazing. It was filled with so many suprises that I never saw coming. I really didn't want this story to end.
A big thanks to my Goodreads friends who recommended it!

“What do you want from me?" he asks.
What I want from every person in my life, I want to tell him.
More.”

“He stops and looks at me. 'I'm here because of you. You're my priority. Your happiness, in some fucked way, is tuned in to mine. Get that through your thick skull. Would I like it any other way? Hell, yes, but I don't think that will be happening in my lifetime.”

“When I turn around, he cups my face in his hands and he kisses me so deeply that I don't know who is breathing for who, but his mouth and tongue taste like warm honey. I don't know how long it lasts, but when I let go of him, I miss it already.”

“If you weren't driving, I'd kiss you senseless," I tell him.
He swerves to the side of the road and stops the car abruptly.
"Not driving any more.”

It sounds really good. It has some great reviews but they do say it is a bit confusing at first, did you find that?
Yes, actually. But it all comes together! And for me, going in knowing that it would be confusing made me really want to figure out the mystery.
That's because some passages are from the present, some from a manuscript that describes the past and some are flashbacks. You'll get into it.
Not saying this will be like this for you, but I had a hard time in the beginning of this book and it took the ladies to get me to continue on. Good thing too since I would have missed out on a really GREAT book.So if you feel like giving up, just remember after I think 100pgs it gets good.
Happy Reading:)
Thanks Tina :DKim, I can't believe I put off reading this so long. It was awesome. I hope you enjoy it.
Your review is basically how I felt. Didn't know what to say. It just blew my mind too! o_o First time a book ever did that to me. I'm so glad you liked it! :)
Alexa, it is now nicely placed on my favourites shelf. Thanks for encouraging me to read this.Arlene, it was awesome. I hope you enjoy it.
Nic, you definitely have a gift for finding perfect hot guy pics. That IS Jonah and you've just made my memories of this book even better!
Nic . . . *drools* Thanks for giving me the perfect image of Jonah. I'm going to save those photos to my computer and make them my screen saver so I can
