"This book started my love for reading. At first I was skeptical about liking the book because it took more than 2 chapters to get going (why was I so pickey). I pushed through the start and suddenly found myself unable to put the book down because I had to know what would happen to my favorite character Toby. The ending blew my mind by telling me how cruel some people can be and how wonderful others could be even when there is a large price to pay. "
"I loved this book, it was such a twist. I never expected anything that happened in it. 10/10 would recommend."
