This was not the type of book I would typically pick up, but my boyfriend chose it for our little book club and LOVED it. So much so that he picked up all of Hendrix's books the next time we were at B&N. I did find myself getting sucked into the vibe of the entire book, but also the evident love that Abby had for her friend that ended up saving her life. I truly enjoyed the setting, characters, and storyline and might consider reading his other books, not that my boyfriend has them.
