'FIVE STARS! I flew through it in two days and hated putting it down. I admittedly stayed up way too much reading when I should have been sleeping. I loved the story but loved the characters even more ... I could almost feel tightness in my own chest and heart, and tears in my own eyes' -Goodreads reviewer
