This book was really good and really well written. I loved the story and the characters. I feel like the ending was a little anticlimactic, I thought something more was going to happen, but it was overall a good read. It was easy to get through and had a nice flow. 

“Family is found...whether it be blood or circumstance or choice, what binds us does not matter. All that matters is that we are bound.”
