This is one of those books that you just really don't want to put down, and then when you do, you're still thinking about it!

I wanted to love this book.Jodi's previous books were so amazing I guess she would just always be able to deliver that level of awesome. This is a great book!

" Solid writing, fairly good grasp of Asperger's issues, but in my opinion the author dropped the proverbial ball when it came to Jacob's mother.
