Once again, i am so overwhelmed by the emotions i've felt after reading this book. Everything is absolutely unexpected and incredibly well-written. The book touched on some quite serious problems like addiction and abuse in families, but Jessica Sorensen wrote it in a way that'll pull you deep into the story, and you won't want to stop. Reading this book was like an escape from reality for me. It calms me down, tells me things will be okay, and gives me something to look forward to in life. Lila and Ethan are out of this world, the plot and characters are pure perfection. The ending just puts a smile on my face every time I reread it. Favorite quote from the book has got to be "I'm not some girl searching love in all the wrong places, I am a girl who found love in the right place." And Jessica, thank you for writing this book, it changed me in a good way and I can't feel anymore grateful. The Temptation of Lila and Ethan is definitely at the top of my list, next to the Ella and Micha books.
