Ugh! This book was terrible. I liked Anna initially but could barely stand her by 7 hours in. Her “secret” was RIDICULOUSLY lame and could easily have been handled by Gayle. 
This book was TWELVE HOURS LONG and the story could easily have been done in 8 hours, max.

I did enjoy Val and Devlin, and look forward to reading their stories, as well as that of Percival and Esther n
