Definitely a book I didn't want to put down. The stark truths of what we accept in our lives and why we do things. I really enjoyed all the characters yet Was disappointed in so many things - would her parents really not push to find the killer. How can letters be found years later and were never discovered. There is so much wonderful detail that gets you invested in the characters and then the end of the book is rushed, literally jumping forward 20+ years. Cole Hale never came clean even to Franny about that last day? I'm feeling jipped that the ending was so rushed and skimmed over.

Loved this book! What courage it took to go through this experience. I am deeply embarrassed that human beings acted this way. Makes me challenge my thinking as to what else do I dismiss or look down upon that has been conditioned to me by society.

Things happen in the blink of an eye. Really enjoyed this book - read in one sitting. Suspenseful action, complicated emotions.

This book wasn't overly dramatic, some humor and the journey of a young boy learning boundaries. Loved the story of the Dad and his relationship with his brother.

I have three kids and I read this book in less than a week! The characters are aptly true to who they are and the twist at the end was a surprise. Definitely recommend

Intriguing - and even in the worst of times, we are reminded how small the world really is. It certainly reminds us how very fortunate so many of us are. I wish the author would have spent more time with the memory Kane that Kristen and Clark would have had.

Overall a decent read however I struggled finishing it, it didn't hold my attention. Partly because I find it difficult to imagine crossing over dimensions.
