Rating:  - 3 1/2 Stars- Good Read
The main character is extremely selfish and I hate that about the story, however there are some people who are like that so it's not as if the story could never happen.

Rating: - Well written but....
Well-written and it definitely kept me interested...yet...halfway through the book I found myself really despising the characters.
