At first, the writing was awful. The characters felt fake, and the writing was cluttered with clichéd phrases, especially during Emma/Daniel scenes. (Especially the first one. It almost made me chuck the book at the wall.)

Another fine piece of work by Cusick. It kept me guessing up until the end. I also enjoyed the intense emotion and love themes. Oh young love....
