Ana is just one of those characters you want to hug, she has so much hope and warmth to her despite the unthinkable position she's put in.

Normally I'm not a big fan of heavily character-driven books, but this one managed to capture my attention and interest very well.

Ana is my hero, and I still rooting for her even after finishing the book.
