Ok such a dramatic YA novel, but really good. There was a lot of drama, but it wasn't annoying because it wasn't put in there randomly. The book started with two troubled people, trying to overcome the tragedies that had shaped their current lives. It ended with those two people overcoming them by making sacrifices and realizing that sometimes those sacrifices aren't a bad thing. I'll admit, I was crying towards the end. Something about both loosing family and realizing that it's for the best or the fact that both needed to learn to forgive, which is something I have a hard time doing. More than once I thought "nope I would never be able to do that." In the end I liked the story and I liked how things got resolved, don't think I'll ever re-read it cause I just can't re-read these types of books, but it was good.
