This novel was beautifully written, with fleshed-out characters, and exciting plot, and a tender romance.
My heart ached for Howard and Jean, and I've never read a love quite like it.


When I reached the end, I was smiling. Happy. Content. And then I turned the page, read one line of the afterword, and felt my heart get torn out of my chest.
And then of course I flipped back to the beginning to read the seemingly innocent article, and the tears just kept coming.


So yeah, all in all a great read if you don't mind heartbreak!
