My Thoughts: Hmm, where do I even start? I have heard a lot of great reviews about this book, and it did turn out decent. This book has definitely been rounding the blogosphere! Everyone has been talking about it and wanting it so I was excited when I got my hands on it! I had trouble getting into it at first. I felt myself drifting and other thoughts popping into my head. It took a lot to stay motivated. I just felt like I couldn't really relate to Micah. But she did grow on me. I think a lot of it had to do with not knowing what she was telling the truth about and what was a lie. But I know that was the point of the story so its a good thing. And I felt bad for her throughout the story. I could feel what she felt for Zach and how she still longed for him even she wasn't able to be with him. For example, going into his room and smelling his shirt. She wanted to be close to him, she missed him. I was a little surprised by the end of the book, even though I should have seen it coming. I won't give away the twist of the story. By the end of the story I did feel like I got closer to Micah and started to understand why she always lied and how she was just used to doing it. I longed for Zach, I missed him. I wanted him here again.

Overall: A little slow at first but got better. There were a lot of details at the beginning but after a while I got used to them. The ending surprised me a little bit. Overall, it was interesting and though it may have a rough start, its worth it to keep reading.
