I read this book when I was younger, around 11 or 12, it was very smutty from my memory when I read it on Kindle back then. I hadn't read all of it; mainly skimming through sections. Over all I loved it for being my first scandalous read. Now I've read much worse, but I decided to reread it for memories sake. I made sure to be thorough this time through. And u thoroughly enjoyed it.

I got about 180ish pages into it until last night I couldn't put it down. I decided to finish it so I would be able to move on to new books. But let me tell you I couldn't put it down for the last hundred pages. I was enthralled in the passion and whiplash of a finale. 

I hope to read this again after a few more reads to get an even better grasp on the complex plot of this tale.
