This went in a totally different direction to what I thought it would. Shocked me to be honest. Felt uncomfortable at times, but is wasn't a bad story..
Absolutely loved this! Quite an emotional book at times, but kept me hooked until the end. I loved Nate's determination to ensure a happy ending for him and Sophie.
