This book is amazing! The characters, setting, and events in the story lead us through familiar and unfamiliar territory as we jump into the lives of Jade and her college friends/life-long friends. I ordered it several weeks ago but just found time to start reading it yesterday evening! I could not put the book down! I finished it within a few hours and cannot stop thinking about these characters, each who give so much to the story! The friendships, love relationships, and the complexity of how it is all intertwined leaves you wanting more! I cannot wait for the next book! The characters are relatable and the circumstances of healing and finding inner strength keeps you on your toes! Very well written and takes you on a serious adventure of love, friendship, and understanding!

There are very few books that leave you captivated after the last page thinking about the characters and wanting to know what is going on with them. That is what this book does. After the last page you are reaching for the next so that you can stay involved in the lives of the characters. The emotions from each character reach so deep that you feel as if you are sitting in the room with them. This author knows how to grasp the attention of her audience and reader and has a knack for keeping them peeking to the next page wanting to see what happens next. I am impatiently anticipating the second book in this trilogy!!
