This character came to life immediately! The story started immediately. So many ups and downs, wins and losses, laughs and tears. A stunning read.

This is a book that you become wholly invested in. A book you take everywhere because if there’s a chance you get an opportunity to read for 2 minutes, you’ll want to read on and find out what happens next. From the start, the characters come to life and take shape over the chapters. Not without flaws but well executed
