I really like this book for the most part. The beginning was very much what I expected this book to be, and I enjoyed getting the story form multiple points of view.

However, as they started to remember things, I wish that what they had remembered was used as more of a focal point and more important when it came to the end of the book.

The end seemed a little rushed and not as much of a revelation as I was hoping that it would be.
