i was fully expecting to hate on this book like the hater i am. i heard that sarah j mass is a horrible writer, so i really wasn't expecting much.
meanwhile i ended up sobbing for the first time in a long time over a book, and now it easily made it to the top of my favourite books. i am pleasantly surprised, also trying to emotionally recover. wow.
