I HAVE NEVER FINISHED A BOOK SO QUICKLY!
I DEVOURED this book in the span of merely a few hours. From the perfect word usage to the points of view that the story is told in, from the emotional rollercoaster that this book took me on to the relatability to my own life events - it was all completely and utterly captivating.
Never have I been able to feel emotions such as these so strongly from a story. I laughed, I smirked, I fell in love, I cried my ugly cry... it was exciting and pleasantly surprising. I normally am one who expects every single twist in the plot, but this book threw things at me that even I wasn’t expecting.
I easily got lost in the story and lived through three months of life in merely a day, which is always a must when you’re reading a story. I could smell the many scents Maggie described, I could feel the scruff under my finger tips, and I could visualize the golden woods.
In addition, this seems like the perfect book for someone who fell in love with Jake (Taylor Lautner) when she watched the Twilight movies for the first time - specifically “New Moon” (ahem, points to self, ahem).
I don’t think I will ever get enough of my copy of this book, and I cannot wait to get the sequel.
