from the very first page i was hooked. drawn in. stuck. it's been a while since i've read such an immersive story and this takes the cake. i thrive on detail and that's one thing this story isn't missing, there's so much to take in and it's not overwhelming. the only thing i didn't like was the lack of following through with topics.. holly would start building up a story line and then it trails off into another one. maybe that's just how it was meant to be and i'm over thinking it? other than that this book was very good!
