Did not go into this book with high expectations. It was another left by my friend and house mate. Her tastes are different to mine.
As I read more of this though, the more I got sucked in. This is the first time, in a long time, I have stayed up into the early hours of the morning, desperate to finish a book so I don't have to hold off the anticipation in an attempt to sleep.
I enjoyed it a lot, and just took it for what is is. And enjoyed every minute of the reading experience.
Don't read too deep, just read this for the emotional rollercoaster.
