Review: I hate to insult anyone by comparing books but…...
Rating: 5 out of 5

I just finished the book this morning - at work because I couldn't put it down.  I am very surprised that I have a book hangover because I just finished another book and thought wow how refreshing to read a real book with 30 year olds … I know this book was on my Facebook page posted by one of those book blog/clubs and not sure why I bought it but I did.  And I wasn't suppose to love it if I just liked another book with 30 year olds right?  Well I did.. and this book had 18 year olds on the cusp of 19 except! The book had NOTHING to do with stupid decisions and miscommunications or any of that other 18 year old "contemporary romance" books - no it was a completely different story line and initially I wasn't going to write a review until I was thinking about the complete 360 that happened 3/4s into the book and thought OMG - it completely reminds me of the book "Gone Girl."  Now before anyone disagrees with me let me repeat it reminds ME of "Gone Girl" the book has suspense, romance, coming of age but not in a stupid coming of age but rather in a overcoming a tragedy coming of age .. the characters were relatable… the twist was really good because it came off as refreshing - I am so bored of the same story lines and miscommunications and weak "I don't deserve you's".. this is not that kind of book.  I went back to read the lower rated comments before posting my 5 star comment thinking did I miss something that they picked up on?  And while there were in my opinion a couple of misspelled words - it was infrequent and did not distract me from the characters or the story.  It did not feel like 426 pages to me thought.. it felt more like 300.. .but not sure whether it is because I read it morning noon and night??Since I hate when comments don't at least give me an idea of the storyline let me say it is about a girl who lost someone close to her and the H wants to help her overcome the tragedy - saying it like that sounds familiar, but I promise it's not the same ole' story lines I just don't want to give anything away… But if you want a more detailed review comment on my review and I can email you small spoilers :-)
