This is book is everything I've ever searched for and I went through it in the span of three days. Without spoiling the final scene of Felicity and Ellis was so satisfying to me, like I was waiting for that the whole time. As for the book Ellis wrote I can't describe how much I want to read it and at the same time never see it brought to life.
