I fell in love with this book, I love everything about it. I loved the concept, (which I might add I was not expecting) and it was just a great story! This was the first book I've read by Colleen Hoover - and it's definitely not going to be my last. I loved how in depth her writing was, and how developed the characters were, and I really loved that it was written in the days, almost like a journal - but with more details. I loved it!

Sky, she is something else. So much has happened to her, and she is so strong. She is such a great rolemodel for girls that terrible things happen to. I will admit to that. I was so pleased with the writing and her past - that I just loved how everything fell together so perfectly. She is stronger than she even knew, and she had been through more than anyone in the book, from being molested as a child, to being "kidnapped" and then watching her father die in front of her... that's a lot and she still had no problem (with the help of Holder) getting over those roads bumps and continuing on with her life. I feel as though she made all the right decisions, to the best of her ability at the times.

Dean Holder - I am going to refer to as Holder during this review, just as Colleen had referred to him throughout the novel. Well, just let me say that at first I thought that Holder was VERY schizophrenic up until the point that he actually explains everything. I knew that he had not acted out in a while, and I thought possibly he was on his medication again - perhaps he had been off them at the times of his outbursts. But I love how much he loves Sky - I love how he protects her at all costs, how he's not scared to be there with her. To break down in front of her - and to give his all to her and be not only her lover, but her best friend (besides Six of course).  Holder is someone I feel as lot of girls will want in a guy that they meet. Someone who is mysterious and charming, and is will to do anything for you, and that's is right.

I loved this book more than I can explain, so many twists and turns happened and I was hooked instantly, because I never knew what was happening. There were things that I was so taken aback that I would have to read it again - and make sure that it was really happening, because I didn't imagine half of the things that happened, to happen! I loved the way that Colleen wrote and I love how much detail and how much story there was. And I cannot wait to pick up another Colleen Hoover book - because I am hooked and I will be reading and purchasing more of her novels.
