Oh. My. God. 

This is EXACTLY the kind of book I have been needing to get me out of the reading slump I was in! I love the way the story is told through the eyes of Theo. The way the events play out and unfolds the truth behind Alicia’s silence leaves you with several theories about what that truth could be. Then when the truth is finally revealed I had to remind myself to breathe! Everything clicked into place in that moment and I realized why so many people are talking about how good this story is. I’m here to tell you the hype is 100% accurate! I will be talking about this one for a long time I can already see that. 
Don’t even hesitate to grab this one and start on it. It is a must read!
