"All I can say is just… wow! I’ve never read a book like this but within the first chapter I felt like i had an emotional connection with moon. I could understand so much of what she was feeling and the way it was tied into this dramatic storyline just made the book irresistible to put down. I don’t reread books much but definetly will be rereading this one. "
