4.0

What a beautiful book. It took me a bit to get into it, but that's largely due to the way Collins manipulated the stolen memory aspect of the world she created as a way to slowly roll out the development of the characters and their relationships to each other. She has an exquisitely well-done handle on giving the reader the right amount of information to increase tension and pacing in the story. Also, it's just a really sweet love story.
