Review: Five Stars (although the ending almost made it 4)
Rating: 5 out of 5

Due to the last few pages I was tempted to rate the book a 4 but I decided against that. Because I was glued to the book for over 400 pages, I chose not to give the author a lower review. Overall, the book read like a great suspenseful thriller with elements of drama, humor, and romance. It was truly riveting and I found myself unable to put it down (literally I'd walk through the hallways at work reading it on the kindle app on my phone). The book was purely fantastic, up until the last few pages. Here's why.....:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::SPOILERS:::::::::::::::::::::::::I found the characters Maci and Elisa to be very realistic and I liked both of them. However I was surprised that after they returned to their normal lives Maci never reached out to Elisa. I understood how Elisa could go back into her safety net, but not Maci. Maci's character was very forward throughout the book and it was because of her persistence that the romance even sparkled to begin with, so for me it didn't seem to fit within her character to let everything go just because Elisa hadn't called.Second thing, I love happily ever afters, but in a matter of 20 minutes or so they agreed to live together in both states and also to consider marriage. I would have preferred if after the sex scene (which was amazing) they confessed their love and agreed to try a long distance relationship. To put a pretty bow on things the author could have inserted an epilogue and said that after a year (or some other reasonable time line) of traveling back and forth across the country they decided to come up with the splitting their time in both states, get married, and then live happily ever after. The way it actually played out just seemed too rushed and unrealistic at the end.::::::::::::::::::::::::::::END OF SPOILERS:::::::::::::::::Overall, this is an amazing book. I was thoroughly entertained and I would most definitely recommend it to my friends!
