Review:

Omg, I have major mixed feelings going on. This book was amazing. I know it was super predictable but it was just one of those books that completely sucks you in. I laughed, I cried and I was pissed. Any book that can get that kinda reaction from me is a 5 star book.

 I don't want to give anything away, but  I love the blooming relationship between Olivia and Alex. I loved their characters both broken and but healing together. I also love the suspense written in as not the focus but important to the story. I have a love/hate relationship with cliffhangers. I love them because its a good way to get interest and set up the next part of a book. I hate them because it leaves me an emotional wreck waiting to see what happens next. That is where this book left me. Begging for more and angry at the decisions of Alex and especially Olivia Ugh! I need more so fantastic job Leigh. I am hooked!
