I loved this book, easily one of my favorite books ever. One of the things I loved about the book is that it is not a cookie cutter book. The story could go so many ways and in many ways it is not obvious how the story will unfold.

This is by far one of the most wonderful books I’ve read. It’s intense, don’t get me wrong, but the story is one that you feel with your whole heart.
