I couldn't put this book down. I read it in less than a day. By page 8 my heart was racing. I was so emotionally engaged in Cass's life, the trauma of her situation, the disparity she felt. I was 100% connected to her character. I felt what she was feeling. I knew already that this book was going to bring me to tears, and it did.

This book made me an emotional wreck! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time just waiting for the inevitable to happen. I cringed every time I thought it was coming, but when it finally did come, I had been lulled into a false sense of security, just as Cass had, and I was not prepared for it.

I felt that the decisions that Cass made throughout the book were spot on for the situation that she was in. She was a relatable character from the start and I loved every minute of her journey to find her strength and her happiness. I loved that she became her own "white knight". So powerful.

Tucker's character was good for me. I liked that yes they had a love story going on but it was more a love story between Cass and herself. Her learning to love herself, her discovering her strength and self-worth. She was able to do this with Tucker's help of course, but I never felt like he was overwhelming and pushy. I felt like he just gently nudged Cass to find her way.

Just an amazing story all around.
