Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 03 7, 2014
After the last few books I read at a higher price, this one was the one to put my faith back in indie authors. At only .99 cents. It goes to show a higher price doesn't mean better quality.The synopsis of this book is already laid out in other reviews so I'll skip that and go straight into why I liked the book so much and what made it only 4 stars instead of 5.Scratch that, 4.5 stars is what I rate this book.Not that I've ever been through what this girl has gone through, but I find the authors depiction of the aftermath to be very realistic. Diana went through so much and even though she's a fictional character my heart broke for her and cheered for her as she fought her demons.Then there was Gideon. I loved him, he was a true hero. I would've loved his pov in this book, and that may be what I needed to rate this 5 stars. I felt like he had a story of his own to tell in this heartbreaking and warming book. He experienced the pain she did, and guilt for not being able to save her when he tried so hard. I kind of feel like his perspective was almost necessary even though the author made me feel what he felt through Diana's perspective.I didn't get bored with this book at all, I swiped the pages eagerly wanting to know what happens next. And somehow in such a heavy book the author managed to throw in some comedic material that didn't feel out of place with the subject of the book. It was very well done.I don't want to give to much away, so I'll say what kept me from throwing out the extra half a star and wrap it up. Her wording threw me off sometimes, but that's pretty minor next to all the feeling and depth in this book. Definitely buy it, it's a great book about healing, love and undying devotion. Made me feel all warm and tingly inside when it was over.
