"I couldn’t even finish this book. I got halfway through and just couldn’t do it. Pages and pages of useless descriptions of nothing. It’s like nothing happened at all. Very disappointing but maybe the end was good? I’ll never know."

"Genuinely this is one of the few books in recent years that kept me reading. Maybe I’m just impartial to the genre, like Hatchet or Touching Spirit Bear, but this book was genuinely such a joy to read, and just suspenseful enough to keep you hooked while maintaining an emotional connection to all three of the main characters. Cannot recommend this book enough."

"Man this book is good. It will tear you up inside but also bring out your instincts and courage. "

"Warning: This book is going to break your heart. It will shatter you, over and over again. But it will also give you hope. It will give you strength. And it will give you courage. <br/>I didn’t think I’d like it as much as I did, as I had recently read a novel by Mindy McGinnis on a similar topic, and she’s one of my most favourite authors. But this story was still quite different, and it was truly outstanding."
