Enjoyed the book very much. It was a little different than the back cover stated since it told the story of the three women throughout most of the book. They don't really connect until almost the very end. Still quite good.

This book will really make you think. I liked the fact that he didn't claim to have all the answers like many Christian authors.

Deals with a very hard subject but was an excellent book. How one pivotal event shapes the remainder of your life. If you haven't read this, you should.

I was actually surprised that I liked this book as much as I did. I thought the story fit the era of the time it was written. You wanted to hate some of the characters and love others. That worked for me.

I thought this was a good book. The author has a nice writing style and the story is believable and not too predictable. I felt myself rooting for and really liking the characters by the end of the story.

I thought this book dealt really well with hard issues. It was realistic but not overly dramatic. It wasn't a downer but showed triumph through real-life issues. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

This book was just so-so. I really had to struggle to finish it. Didn't seem to hold my attention much. Confusing names between the 2 main characters Maddie and Izzie. I was constantly wondering which one was which.
