I actually thought this story started out a little slow, but with time it grew into an amazing story of how these two characters develop a real relationship and a deep friendship. I thought the author did a great job of getting you wrapped in the relationship of Dexter & Emma. Without giving anything away, it's a story that really stuck with me after I finished it. I didn't think I would like it as much as a did but it was written very well and I would definitely recommend it.
