What Members Thought
I have to thank fellow author Serena Yates for pointing this book out to me, it was one of the best I've read in a while. I felt that Zach's responses and mannerisms were plausible given his circumstances, and was completely drawn in to his character. For me, I know that a book is good when the characters stay with me long after I've read that last page.

I don't even know where to start with this review. Basically it blew me away - the characters, the circumstances, the emotion, the love - just all of it. I'll admit that I was a little thrown by the beginning scene, my heart pausing to take in all the damage that was described but I moved on and I'm so glad that I did.
