Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Although I'm a woman in her mid-fifties and this book is really written to appeal to the late teen genre, I was really impressed at how the author could mesmerize the reader with such descriptive literature, and stay on the subject genre. The development of the characters and the way they change is quite remarkable. I loved the story, the relationships, the town all took place in, and the incredible twist in ending the book. This is an up and coming author, for sure.
