I had heard nothing but amazing things about this book...so unfortunately I had very high expectations and ended up feeling a bit let down. I think if I wasn't spending the whole time wondering, "When does it get as good as everyone said it is?" I would've enjoyed it a lot more.

However! About halfway through I did start to really dig my teeth into it. As with a lot of the books I've read recently, once things started to fall into place and I started to see the connections, I got a lot more interested.

The concept is certainly interesting, the characters were fine, I just wanted...more.

I wish it had been two books. One about "the before" and one about "the after," but I understand that you can't predict success and if you aren't sure you'll get a second book deal, you might as well put both stories in one.
