I wasn't expecting to get as tearful as I did reading this book. There were several moments that I had to put down the novel and pause, as the emotions got overwhelming. It's cliche, unoriginal as hell. But it was still enticing and made for a quick read - the push I needed to get started reading again. I didn't realize there was a second novel and am not sure if it's quite worth checking out or if the ending to this one was enough.
