I have not been a big reader for the past- way too many years. My friend lent me this book, and I won't lie, I read the first chapter . . . 4-? times. I was having a hard time getting back into reading, had nothing to do with this book. However, reading this book made me re-fall in love with reading. This book has all of the aspects of a book I ask for. There's mystery, suspense, plot twists you didn't see coming, like at all, and light-hearted moments that provided breaks from the difficult emotions this book brings up. At times, I was having a hard time putting the book down at all. It is truly a work of art.
