For me this is the perfect book. When I read it I am completely immersed despite the plot jumping through place, time, and perspective. It is such a fast paced read that most people I know struggled to put it down. Reading it a second time allowed me to dive a little deeper into the characters. I would love to hear from some of these characters again- Reese and Jude specifically.
