This was a wonderful read. Quite simply, the story had twists and turns, romance, humor, love and betrayal. Add to that characters that pull you in and make you believe in them and chemistry that is undeniable and you have a book that you can't put down. One thing that stood out for me was that the romance was a slow burn. I believe that adds to the enjoyment of this book since so many other writers choose to have the characters fall in love in a freight train like way...quick and painful for the reader. Evie's connection to both Reed and Russell could have proven to be monotonous and a "been there, seen that" kind of plot. Instead, Ms. Bartol used this connection to build her story into a unique look at soul mates and attraction...and what we can and can't control. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and was very happy to move directly into book 2!
