4.0

To be honest, I almost DNF'd this book. It took me a while to finish because it was like an emotional roller-coaster with extra loops and drops. I chose to continue reading because I wanted to read how it ends. Back in the day, I'd skip to the end just to discover what happened. But the way this story was written, it makes the reader want to continue reading to find out the ending. There is great build-up and unraveling of questions if you continue to read. The story slowly played out in my mind as I read. I'm glad I did not DNF. This is a great story that will keep you wondering.
