I really do truly love this book a lot. I didn't think that it could get any better but it did. Building up to the ending was so much fun. The ending was so bittersweet and it couldn't have gone any better than it did. It was just the most perfect ending to a really jam packed thrilling scenes of a book. * Legenbooksdary *
