This was my most anticipated book of the second half of the year. I love Jo Piazza and based on the synopsis I knew this book was going to be thought provoking. I don’t know how Christine and Jo did it but they created something very special. Their writing was great and they were able to create these complex characters and story. I really liked that the authors weren’t telling you what to think at the end of the day but by hearing the two main characters point of views it made you think. This would be an excellent book club pick (I anticipate one of the major book clubs will feature it this month) because there are lots of things to discuss. I think this book will be very hyped up but please don’t let that deter you from picking this up. This is a very special book!
