"At first I as unsure about this book, I got it at a library book sale for a dollar. As I started reading it I was confused for the first 3-4 chapters, thinking what is going on? But at the same time I couldn't put it down. I had to find out what was next and what was happening. I have read this book at least 6 times. I love the character development. I felt for Julia Becket, and I connected with her. I was not prepared for the ending, and I don't want to give spoilers. I cried though, and after I finished the book, I made my two best friends read it too. This book is a keeper to me!"
