This is one of the best books I have ever read. It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I predicted pretty much what happened to Megan and Rachel on July 13th around page 266 which is actually unusually far in the book for me. As I started the book I really liked it and it just kept getting progressively better. It wrapped everything up by really answering any questions u can possibly have. I really urge people to give this book a try if they have not yet to.
