I thought it was an intense, powerful story. Amy Efaw's writing was great and she handled some tough, contemporary issues really well. I understand your point about the ending. I liked that it wasn't predictable and I thought it was real but also tough to deal with. It really made me think.<br />Terrific review!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866342436745173619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091584537195738879.post-46574326425025077602012-05-09T16:37:52.808-04:002012-05-09T16:37:52.808-04:00I just requested this on paperbackswap last week a...I just requested this on paperbackswap last week and I'm waiting for it to get here - it sounds like an intense, contemporary read!Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07197511814130754618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091584537195738879.post-69718718851882587862012-05-09T14:16:33.282-04:002012-05-09T14:16:33.282-04:00Whoa -- sounds like a very intense read!

I'm not sure I'd be up for this one, but appreciated your review.<br /><br />I never thought I'd like/be interested in audiobooks, but I started really listening to them last fall -- and now I'm addicted! I usually have at least one checked out from the library at any given time, and my favorite to date is probably <i>Across The Universe</i> by Beth Revis. It was pretty cool and powerful on audio.Meg @ write meg!https://www.blogger.com/profile/15837479897570974834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091584537195738879.post-66505150072847024852012-05-09T10:45:31.325-04:002012-05-09T10:45:31.325-04:00I love audio books too and overdrive is amazing, a...I love audio books too and overdrive is amazing, although I've only used it for kindle books so far. I'll have to try checking out an audiobook. Some of my fave audiobooks are: The Scorpio Races, How To Save A Life, and The Night Circus.<br /><br />I'm sorry the end disappointed you.fakestephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08178042157823156839noreply@blogger.com
