What I Liked:
  • I really like the quick pacing of this book - the story seemed to fly by.
  • The writing was brilliant. Writing this book as a letter was the BEST choice and every description jumped out of the page into my mind.
  • The whole plot line with the camel - I'm not sure why, but I loved it.

What I Disliked/Wanted More Of:
  • It was pretty unbelievable - the whole stalking for years and going completely off the grid.
  • Gemma's reactions/thoughts at the end just made me sad.
