I liked this book very much.

This to me didn't feel like a young adult book. The characters are actually adults whose lives ended tragically. They are burdened by a guilt, and they can't remember why. Not child like concerns.The sex scenes were pretty steamy though not detailed.

On the other hand, the emotions of the lead character had the feel of teenage love though - so obsessive, can't live without him kinda of feelings. They ACT young which I thought was strange for such old souls like sleeping together and not even considering the ramifications on the bodies they inhabit.

I loved the ending. So many books just fizz out or have too perfect endings. This one took a turn I didn't see coming. Would definetly recommend this book to high school age kids and up.
