i finished the book following the readers law of "one chapter more and I quit for the day". obviously it was very late and now I'm feeling very sleepy. but I think it was worth it (perhaps in a couple of hours I change my mind). 
 i felt this book was more relatable than emery lord's first one. probably because I am more like Paige and nothing like Reagan. 
 here three reasons why I think it's worth your time to read this books: 
 -- I really liked the way it deals with grief. 
 -- I LOVED the way it portrays friendship. 
 -- Paige and Max were the cutest thing ever and the development of their relationship was really well done. 
 -- bonus track: Paige's evolution is very interesting to witness. 
 the plot of the book might not be the most original in young adult literature, but it teaches some nice lessons I liked to be reminded about from time to time.
