      Very, very short but I liked it. I'm looking forward to her next book.
    • 2/5
      I am not sure if I would have liked this better if I read it rather than listened to it. As it was, I listened the whole time with my heart in my throat, hoping it would turn out one way (but then again, glad it didn't or I would have been pissed at Piper, the main character). If I had read it, I would have sped through it to find out the ending, but that is impossible to do with an audio book. Not a waste of my time, but definitely a story I could take or leave.
    • 4/5
      It was sweet, heartbreaking, reassuring and comforting at the same time. A story that showed you a lot. I really enjoyed it and loved how it did not fall into some kind of clichés!

      My question is just "why" bother. This wasn't my taste at all . I won't read this author again
