I promise it's good

I went into this book knowing absolutely nothing about it besides that a friend had recommended it.

That worked so well for me, I hesitate to tell you anything besides:

it grabbed me pretty fast and then I hustled through and finished the book in two days.

I cried for these characters.

Strong recommend
