I read this book in about 30 minutes and was intrigued the whole time. There was a range of emotions throughout and in the end it all worked out. My favourite character was Alex as he was kind and thoughtful in the description and actions. I recommend if you enjoy short reads but not if you have had a family member pass away as it contains that.
