This is one of the most interesting and unique books I’ve ever read! Armfield keeps the story flowing in alternating chapters between Leah and Miri, our main characters. The novel is  filled with love, longing, and suspense. I will be thinking about this one for a long time to come!

I still have a lot of unanswered question and I'll just have to accept that. But the book is great for what it is and I am glad that me and my friends picked it for a buddy read.
