I found this book at the hotel that I was staying at whilst on holiday. I took it to the beach with me to read and was hooked in straight away. It was so well written and very interesting, I cried at points throughout the book and was sad to finish it the next day. The characters in the book were so vivid, I'm sure everyone knows someone just like each of them. Would definitely recommend.

I loved the book and finished it in one day. The story was engaging and realistic which kept the pages turning. Makes you cherish what you have and how you feel for the characters in this story! Felt like I was along for the ride and with the price I would say don't even hesitate to click buy. Not for a second!
