...but some times, not so much.***Vaguely Spoiler***OK, one reason I loved this book is because neither of the MCs actually screwed up and neither owes the other an  apology.  Another reason is that the characters all had normal names. Yes, Harper is a little different, but Ms. Lee is one of our greatest authors, so no complaints there. Another reason was that Ryan was a genuinely good guy, and Harper was smart, mature and never whined! Fourth, the villains in this story - and there are villains - were so blood curtlingly (emphasis on "blood") evil - they were just perfectly awesome horrible depraved people. And villains are not really fun unless they truly embrace that highway to hell. There will be a traffic jam after this novel.Oh, and finally, both the story and the dialogue (join point of view, so all dialogue) was freaking amazing. And tragic. And beautiful.  There is an event in the story where I truly felt like I got knifed in the gut, and the reactions were so appropriate - breathtaking in the pain that was conveyed.And then I was happy. Good, good book.
