I've heard great things about this book. And if, indeed, it is very beautiful, it does not mean fabulous.'s Fluid and rhythmic light writing is perfectly mastered by the author and made me turn the pages one after the other is m 'accountable. The characters are very endearing. As the secondary key, as Leah, Sabrina or parents Maggie and Caleb!

However, this story seemed to me very telephoned. The love story was more than expected between Maggie and Caleb, and the end did not surprise me. The only surprise was the identity of the person concerned, because I thought Kendra, and so this is the only time I was surprised.

I found the chapters with Ms. Reynolds perfect. They bring a lot to this story, even though I suspected what would happen when it was a question of viewpoint.
This old lady is really captivating and moving, and I was very saddened by his death, which was, to him, a surprise, as I thought she was still a lot of things to bring.

For cons, the end, um ... But what is that? It rises in intensity throughout the novel, and it ends up like a souffle that falls.
I do not understand all this, I find it completely astonishing in view of the message that we passed throughout history! I hope at least a second volume is expected to explain the purpose qu'abrupte more.

Finally, it is a beautiful story, with whom I had a great time, and I thank Anne-Sophie who helped me win this book, and thus to find out.
