Reader Review: "I couldn't put it down! I read it cover to cover in one night. I was so fascinated with the lives of Sophie and Carter I just had to see how their stories ended.
My Review:
Sophie and Carter have to be two of the best characters I have read this year. They were so real and raw and just amazing. In fact, this book is amazing. The story about broke my heart in places and even though this book is only a little over 100 pages long, I became so attached to the characters. To their well being, to the life that lay ahead of them. To their love and friendship, everything.
I wanted to reach into the pages and give them both a great big hug and help them anyway that I could.
Their story was just incredible. I wish this book could have lasted forever.
5 solid stars? Wow. This book must be really good. I like this kind of stories. It's chick lit but with depth, which you don't often read in YA books. Anyways, another good review and I'll add this to my summer to-read list. Ah, so many books, so little time...
ReplyDeleteYep. This was a wonderful read and it went by really quickly too, maybe too quickly. I think I could have read about the characters for a lot longer and not been disappointed at all.
ReplyDeleteIt's really that short read? Huh. Perhaps there's a second installment?
