I dont usually read a really hyped book until the hype is over but the amount of people who have been raving about this book is impressive! Then within days a couple close friends said you have to read this book now and WOW what a good book! READ IT!!!!

Captivating. Slow your life down and enjoy this book.
Ugh this book was not good. Cheesy writing with a predictable twist ending. This was compounded by the awful narrator's voice on the audio book. Sorry. I'm usually a very positive reader I just can't with this one.
