I finished this book in 24 hours, only putting it down when I absolutely had to. Something about Rachel Hawkins’ writing made me keep writing. I loved the character development, however the format was tricky at first and I was confused about the flashbacks in the beginning. I loved this book, and have already recommended it to friends.

I flew through this book, and I'm a slow reader so that says a lot.
