Well, let me just say that I read this book pretty much in one sitting. I'm not sure what it was about it that kept me so engrossed, though. 
 The characters were fine. I had no problems with them in terms of being annoyed or disliking them. I wasn't immediately smitten with either one though, either. 
 I can't really put my finger on what it was, but there was something about this book that just...didn't quite do it for me. Normally these types of books that center around two broken characters who meet and start to learn to heal together are like gold in word form for me. I'm a complete sucker for them. But I don't know what it is about this one that didn't capture me completely. Something just wasn't there. 
 I liked it but I didn't love it. 
 I agree with many of the other less that 5 star reviews that think the ending failed. It just basically stops. I believe the author was going for the classic cliffhanger here, and while it most definitely is a cliffhanger, the lead up to it was not done very well. We didn't solve a single issue. For a cliffhanger to be a cliffhanger ending of an entire book and not just the end of a chapter, we need some resolution of other things. This just...stops...without a single thing accomplished. 
 It makes the reader feel cheated. 
 I'll read the sequel because I want to know what happens, and its only $.99, so... I just wish I could have loved this one.
