This is the fastest I have made it through a book since I had my daughter. It held my attention and I felt like I couldn't put it down, but in the end I felt, like many others based on other reviews I've read, that something was missing.
I feel like this story did have its moments. Parts that hit close to home for me and I couldn't put it down. I'm honestly not sure why I didn't like it as much as I feel I should have. It is an easy read. I'll be honest I only picked it up because a friend of mine recommended the movie, this might have been some of the problem. I prefer to read the book before ever seeing the movie.
