This was a very good book, and probably the first book where I have actually been interested in every single POV.
In the beginning, I loved how she set it up so that you didn’t know what each of them were trying to hide and no one trusted anyone. This made it interesting when you got to read it from all of the different perspectives.
At the end, Jake make me want to throw the book…but I guess that’s expected.
All of the stories pulled together very nicely, and I like how much the characters developed by the end of the book. Very excited to read the next book!!
