Great, fast paced thriller. Had me on the edge of my seat and I did not want to put it down. Had me telling my friends to go and read it so I had someone to talk to about it. 

Absolutely heartbreaking as well. Was crying for a long time towards the end as the twist caught me very off guard. 

Drew was a great character. Reading about his emotional struggles while a town is turning on him and no one is listening was shattering. I just wanted to give him a big hug.
