WOW! Such an emotional experience. Once again, Hoovers ability to take horribly tragic events and turn them into such beautiful stories will never cease to amaze me.

Es la primera novela que leo de esta autora, y la verdad que no me ha decepcionado. No suelo leer mucho género romántico porque todos los libros me parecen casi iguales, pero este me ha sorprendido bastante. Le cogí cariño a ambos protagonistas y me gustó la forma en la que estaban conectados. Tal vez me esperaba algo más de acción y drama, pero tampoco está mal. Me ha gustado.

I think Hoover’s ideas were really interesting, but the way this book was executed left something to be desired. I found Holder to be quite annoying and hot-headed at times

Spoiler

given what he’s gone through, I understand but still

. The ending, although having me shocked, also felt poorly-handled. I would love to see the way Hoover wrote this really cool plot now, more than 10 years later.

A really emotional read.  I loved the characters throughout the book.  The plot twists had me hooked and I didn't expect them.
