I picked up this series at this book, but now I want to go back and read the others.  This is an excellent novella.  Right from the opening scene I felt emotionally pulled into the story. This paragraph set the tone for entire book:"A day with a bold beginning and a woeful end.  A day of sporting exhilaration and an ignominious defeat.  It was the day she fell in love for the first time and it was the day her father beat her until she lay bloody and bruised on the living room floor."Wow, my heart broke for Marci and her struggles.  She was injured during this encounter with her father and never got proper treatment - leaving her with a terrible limp.  She is portrayed as a strong and persevering character with a strong will. Zetterwall did an amazing job of writing the other character - Kyle - into the story.  The emotional connection that the reader has to these characters carries through the story through the tone and compassionate feel to this story.  I was pleasantly surprised as the plot unfolded.  I was kept on the edge-of-my-seat wondering what was going to happen next.  I did not see the twist happening.Overall, I give this book 5-stars!  I am going to go back and read every other book in the series as well.  This writing is amazing, the book is well-organized, and I feel like I made a few new friends.Highly recommended!.
