I was blindsided by this novel. 
 The only thing I read about it was the synopsis. I didn't read reviews or spoilers, so I had no idea what it was about. It ranked #1 in Romance and I'd just finished The Hating Game (which I loved) so I was expecting this to be lighthearted, cute, and maybe if I was lucky, butterfly-inducing. 
 What I was not expecting was to have my heart in my throat and to be sitting on the edge of my seat the entire time. 
 As far as the writing, there wasn't anything that stood out about it as being fantastic or bad, which isn't a bad thing. It means the author didn't take me out of the story because of how it was written. I was definitely IN IT the entire time I read it. 
 My warning: if you are going into this novel as I was, expecting a lighthearted romance... this is certainly not what it is. 
 I think the subject matter was very well handled, but that is coming from someone who has never had to deal with any of the issues addressed in the book in any way.
