Such an amazing and interesting book. I could not put it down. I just wish that the end never was a cliff hanger. I just really don't like those and I would really like to know what happened next.

This book was great. It always had me guessing what would happen next. I really wish there was a sequal. Like if something happened when they were in Italy.

The book was okay. I thought it had a little too much flash backs in it. How Emily died could have came in a little earlier. I wish Sophie would be a little happier in the story. Other then that the book was good.

It's always great to hear from readers and I appreciate you all taking the time to tell me what you think of the book. I'm working on a new book now called Terrible, Gorgeous Acts and your feedback helps me think about ways to handle the story I'm telling!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
