THIS BOOK WAS SO GOOD I LOVE HER BUT THI WAS VERY GOOD ONE DON'T MISS IT
I'll be SO SORRY when this book ends! I'm a huge BD fan and each one of her novels that I've listened to has been better than the last. This one took me a bit longer to get into, largely because of the reader whose voice for Eugene took some getting used to...but the story line is unforgettable and the characters so complex. I admire this author! Can't get enough of her work!
THIS IS RALLY A GOOD BOOK, VERY DIFFERENT ENDING, COULDN'T STOP LISTENING TO IT
