I feel like I’m losing my touch because I did not see anything in this book coming! I could not stop all day and finished in in hours! I liked it a lot but the ending is what made it a four instead of a five for me. I won’t say what it is because I don’t want to post spoilers but the ending fell flatter to me than I was hoping I guess and at the same time I’m not sure what I was exactly expecting. I do love this author and it has twists I didn’t see coming and the characters for me were like able. Also the 9/11 hit home for me being from New York and pulled emotion out of me. A good quick read!

9/10 - this book got me interested in reading again.
Loved the story line and was intrigued with the perspectives as it takes place around 9/11.
