Taylor Jenkins Reid has a way of bringing the reader in and keeping their attention to the very end. The love the two main characters experience in such a short time was intense until tragedy struck. It's a story about love, life, death, and finding hope and family in unexpected people.

Tom Felton is a great story teller. The way he writes makes you feel what it was like to be him. This was very entertaining and insightful. Highly recommend especially those that are lovers of Harry Potter.

This Historical Fiction novel gives the reader a good insight as to what life was like for lepers. From the way they were treated by the public to being secluded in a camp, they had to learn to live a new life many times being disowned by their families. It was interesting to see the personal transformation of Mirelle West who went from being a silent movie stars wife to living in a leper hospital cut off from the rest of the world except through letters.
