4.0

The first 100 pages where quite slow but read the rest in one day. Good vibes. Slightly repetitive.

1) Ed encouraged a child who could not swim to jump into water he proceeded to do so and could have drowned the author followed this with reffering to the adults as "squabbling like children" and it isnt mentioned again for the rest of the book
2) Beca is into Griff and should not of promised the steadfast opposite to a woman who was in love with him and had a child with him
3) Griff never should of had a kid with a woman who loved him knowing that he was in love with someone else

Ironically started reading this thinking it was a crime thriller but was pleasantly surprised. I loved how the author split pov's towards the second half of the book. It really made me feel for people in a situation i have never been in. Not many books move me so much.
