Wow. This book had me feel things I didn’t think I would be feeling. I feel confused and I’m missing the desert like I was there. I even teared up reading the ending because I felt exactly what Gem felt; this could be because I did get the book when I was 16 and it just made me realize how confusing Gemma’s situation really was and even more because I’m so close to age with her. You start to feel sympathy towards Ty and even start to like him? That shocked me. I think everyone should give this book a try. After picking it up again, I couldn’t put it back down. Each page I just felt like I had to read just oneee more. It had me talking out loud, laughing, tearing up, and then staring at my wall once i closed the book. I personally loved the ending. I definitely recommend.
