"Words escape me and what emotion this book actually causes. It is a truly emotional read that will make you cry. I've read many books that bring out my emotions, but this is the first book I have ever cried with. The pain and heartbreak are powerful throughout reading this book. Don't get me wrong there is laughter, but there's also pain and sorrow. The emotions put into not only this book but this whole series are mind blowing.These books are not meant to be stand alone and need to be read in order. This book as well as the first will definitely make you think about life and love."
