Amazing story, even though there were times when the story was a bit too predictable. It was a heartfelt journey with pain, heartache and happiness.
I have finished the book in less than six hours. That is all I have to say.
I absolutely loved this book. It was beautifully written. It has everything a love story should have -- history and great character development, falling in love and becoming childhood sweethearts, tragedy, heartbreak, and redeeming love so many years later. I stayed up late into the early morning hours to read this one.
Just lived this book! You feel like you grow with the characters and experience all their heartache, joys and tears with them. One of the best books I read!!

Why did I wait so long to read this?
I enjoyed every minute of it. I loved it. Even when I disagreed with certain parts unfolding before me, I loved it. Why?...not only was the story wonderful, character development brilliant, but the writing (Oh, the writing) it flowed from page to page. This story was so easy to read because the author has a wonderfully beautiful talent for writing.
This book will be a favorite of mine for a long time to come.
