With each passing page, I enjoyed this book more and more. I saw a little of myself in Lena right away and continued to connect with her throughout. She's the girl who wants to do the right thing, who believes that her family (and her world) is looking out for her best interests and is almost afraid to look too hard at things for fear of discovering she may be wrong. Then, her ideas of right and wrong, and her understanding of the world, are challenged by Alex. Together they explore what is and what could be. A beautiful love story in a world where love isn't allowed to exist. If you haven't already done so...go read this book.
