I adore pretty much every book TJR writes and this was no exception. Her books always draw me in with the authenticity of the characters she creates. I could hardly put this book down because I just wanted to know the characters more and more. Even with the start of the book telling you where the plot was going I was hooked and needed to see how things ended. It was beautifully heartbreaking.
