Liked certain aspects of the story and the characters...was hard to get into the mindset of Jordie b/c she was so strong sometimes, and then an average whiny teenager the next...which is realistic, but jarring all the same. Sometimes I found that obstacles were being thrown up just for the sake of having obstacles and then overcoming them....it got tiring after awhile. I did like that the author provided some depth on Levi and why he was the way he was...I wasn't expecting it and it made the story flesh out so much better....
