Something about this just sounded so sad to me, so I've avoided it, but I've heard a lot of great things about the story so maybe I will read it one day.

I like that this apparently is a more atypical sort of story - always a good thing in contemporaries, in my opinion! I'll have to keep this one in mind when I want a darker read.

This one is rather like a tug a war with me and I feel that I may not enjoy because of the hype and the story-line as well. Although the mystery and suspense sounds really intriguing, I think its the concept that has me stimey sometimes and I have to be in the right mood to really get to grips with it. Lovely review, Jasprit. Sorry for the rant.

I'm used to mysteries where there is at least a hint, and where the suspect is not only mentioned once and then forgotten. In any case, I'm glad you found this decent overall, Jasprit. The relationship in this one surprised and moved me a lot.<br /><br />Faye at <a href="http://thesocialpotato.maryfaye.net" rel="nofollow">The Social Potato Reviews</a>Faye M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01482378962410177583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-79074761185361857162014-05-06T16:43:58.144+01:002014-05-06T16:43:58.144+01:00I like it when authors use snippet's to show s...I like it when authors use snippet's to show situations in the past.
