I sacrificed three lunch breaks, six 15 minute breaks, and a few hours of precious sleep time to read this book. That is saying a lot for me. I'm an avid reader, but to  compromise my precious few hours of sleep just to read? It has to be a dang good book to do that, and this one is.The characters are all so well developed it's easy to remember which character said and did what and when. I usually find myself confused with characters if they aren't defined well enough because I have a hard time distinguishing them. But Ms. Creed did well to separate them and define them into their own entities, which made it so much more real and gripping to me.The vibrancy of the words and how the story progresses is impressive and made the transitions between chapters seamless.I must mention, however, exactly  how upset and irritated I am that I have to wait (how much longer??!) to read the next book. If I had known before I began reading this book that the rest of the series has yet to be published/written, I would have waited. There's nothing I despise more than starting an amazing series only to not continue reading because the rest of the books don't exist yet. But the 'yet' I am holding out for. I really Really want to know if Alex goes away on that cross-country driving trip.
