This book was one of my quicker reads - it sucked me into the story and I couldn’t put it down! I finished it in about two or three days. The time switches kept me interested, but there were times when I thought the flashbacks got monotonous. It was a good book to read and stay interested in for a short time, but I don’t know if I would reread it like I do the other books I love. It was deep and thoughtful, but there were times I wished the story was a little different. Overall a good, quick read.
