I cried. This is one of the first books I have actually cried in. Near the end when the unthinkable happens I was just bawling. This book was really well written and even though it was slow at some parts and the main character made me angry. The book invoked feelings out of me and that is what books are really for right. There really was no defining conclusion but that worked with what the book was trying to say. Yeah I liked Laurie way better than Alison and I wanted Laurie and Kevin to get together through the whole thing, but like that was going to happen right. I wish there had been a list of her rules, but I don't know, this book just worked even though there were so many things about it that were working against it.
