I liked this book -and boy howdy, have a couple of the sexy encounters have really stuck with me!- but it lost me a bit in the last third. In the beginning I really liked Pete and Fiona as characters, both completely screwed up individuals drawn in painfully human lines, but after a while, I just kind of started to lose my liking for them as a couple and couldn't justify rooting for them to be together. Pete's visions never quite felt real to me, and I couldn't decide whether it was actually happening to her or if it was delusional.It's very well written and just different enough to catch my interest - but I'm admittedly picky about romantic stories. It may be another person's favorite book, so make sure to read it and judge it on it's own merits, not my narrow taste in romance.

This book has intensity and you simply do not want to put it down. The author writes in such a way that draws you into the character lives. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and simply couldn't put it down. The visual concepts are stunning and I felt that I was experiencing the characters' emotions, their love, their disappointments and overall their lives.

Wow. I was hooked from the first page! You made your characters real. It was like being an observer watching real people attempting to live life the best they could given the complexities and challenges thrown at them every day. For me the Love between a child and the various adults in his life was a high point. Love is after all the reason we are all here in this life. Personally I'd give this book 4 stars

This story takes you on a journey of love, family love, passion, undeniable attraction, complicated serious addictions, eccentricities, special gifts, strange visions and hot scenes. It is slightly odd but well written. I was completely engrossed in the story. The chemistry was steamy and the characters are fascinating. I loved Mack and Turtle. They were both so cute and adorable. A mesmerising, definitely out of the ordinary story and highly recommended.

I was fortunate and got to read this in draft format, two years ago and I enjoyed it as much this time around. I attached to the chacaters and found myself anxious about what the charcter(s) were going to do next. And I once again stayed up too late because I just had to finish "this one" chapter!It's a fun read about real people, joy, sadness, regrets and celebration. What more could you ask for?

I was so sad when this ended. I especially loved how both Fiona and Pete interacted with Mack. I would be interested in reading more of Pete's backstory. The relationships were so realistic and even though both main characters were flawed they were still likable. Left me wanting more.

Not my usual genre, but a friend was reading it and I thought I would give it a try. What a great first novel for the author. I think it would be an interesting mini-series or movie. Looking forward to what she has to follow-up with.

The characters were fascinating. The story felt real. I laughed out loud, I held my breath, I lost time, and I couldn't wait to finish!
