ReplyDeleteReading this book I found myself being drawn into the world of the main character and I stayed in that world with her until the very end. I lived with her through everything, through the highs and all the lows. I was deeply touched by her story. And I wanted nothing more than for things to work out in the end... I was rooting for her the whole time.
Reading this book was a mixture of emotions. At times I was filled with joy and I found myself smiling. At times I was filled with sorrow. Sometimes I was even filled with fear because things were spiraling downward and I wasn't sure if the girl would make it, if the girl would survive. It was a roller coaster of emotions and that is one of the reasons the read was a memorable and enjoyable one.
I highly recommend this book!!! It's 5 stars for me.
