You can tell I enjoyed a book when I stay up all night to read it. Those of you who have been following us for a long time now know I value my sleep more then books sometimes and to sacrifice it must mean I read something good. I did! Every Last Promise was so scarily real and heart breaking that I had to go running for a box of tissues several time.
I had one huge issue with Kayla. She tried to play God and by doing that she killed one boy and injured herself and someone else. That is what bothered me the most. I can see why she did it, the circumstances to begin with were horrible but there was another way to go about it then driving the car into a ditch purposely. Other than that I felt for Kayla, everyone hates her including her "best friends" and she is now alone. It broke my heart. Even in the end she is pretty much alone, except for one friend she made when she first returned from school.
As much as I enjoyed this book I had a few issues with it. The book was not resolved in the end at all. I am disappointed. But Jess bought up a good point: "Life doesn't always have a happy ending, so why should a book?"Which is true. So many woman are sexually assulted and then suffer in private because they are terrified. It was also frustrating that we didn't find out who died until you were nearl half way through the book, and you don't learn about her promise to Bean until the end.
