2.0

 I liked this book, but there were some things that I would have preferred to see happen differently. 

I liked how Alison grew and saw that sometimes she had to decide to do things her own way regardless of rules or others’ opinions. I really liked how patient Will was, but I thought that he could have been shown more as it seemed that he and Alison got together quite quickly, after Rich was gone, without really getting to know each other. 

I liked the plot, and even when the language got a bit technical, it was interesting, and I thought that it was still understandable. 

I didn’t like either of Alison’s parents as they didn’t think about her. Alison’s father only tried to see her twice at the very beginning, then gave up for the next 23 years. Alison’s mother was selfish, and I didn’t like how she wanted Alison to do things her way without really listening and trying to understand Alison. 

The end was annoying with how everyone forgave everyone immediately. 

There were some side characters that seemed interesting, but I wanted to see them interacting with Alison and Will when they weren’t at work.
