Review

I would give the book four stars because it was a great book that I could not put down. I would recommend thins book to anyone looking for a good book to read. I think the book would be appealing to people who have a romantic side because the book is about love and relationships failing or raising. My opinion on the book is that it would be great but I was not satisfied with the ending. This book really is a good book though. I am looking forward to reading it again.
