Wasn't sure if I liked it  as I was reading but got more involved with each chapter.  I actually cried at the last chapter. Planning to recommend for Book Club.

I wasn't sure I was going to like it. A bit slow in the beginning but then I couldn't put it done. I felt I was part of the family.

I read this awhile ago, and I'm still not really sure how I feel about it. I didn't love it, but it was better than okay. While that's not a ringing endorsement, it stayed in my brain. Rolled around in there. I'll definitely be reading the second book. I think maybe it pushed me out of my comfort zone. I'm not sure why, it wasn't particularly salacious. Oh, it was sexy... but it wasn't like what you'd read in Nugget or anything. Great characterizations and good writing.

I wasn't sure about reading it but it ended up being a good book.  It definitely had some twists that I did not expect.  That's part of what I liked about it.

Thought that this book was different book. when I first started to read it I was not to impressed, but after reading further into the story I was wanting to read more.

It took me awhile to get into the book but as I read further it took me to some of the places that I have traveled to and that was very interesting.

When I spend days reading a book, I know it isn't for me.  Maybe there was too much build up?  I was 1/3 into it when I went to the end, it was as I suspected and now I can go on to something else

I didn't think I liked it at first, but once the story goes into the back stories it is great.

I liked it, but the beginning confused me since I felt like there was a lot going on that I should already know.  I felt as if I dropped in on a movie half-way.  But once I got over that, this was a highly enjoyable read!

Took me a bit to get into this book. Seemed a little slow at first but I ended up really liking it. I don't necessarily agree with everything but it isn't just an opinion book, it is largely up to the reader to take what is written, think about it, and decide to do something with it.

I wasn't sure what to expect and for a lot of the book I kept trying to figure out what was going to be the centerpiece. Once it started to become clearer, I started understanding the plot and the characters a little better. It was OK, but some of it seemed a little too far fetched for my liking. (The girl's insight)

Starting to read this book I wasn't sure if I was going to like it, but within a few pages I had changed  my mind and I ended up enjoying it immensly. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys this genre.

Almost lost interest at first but read more and glad I did.

I didn't necessarily like how the author changed the writing style from a 1st person perspective to a 3rd person one. And like just said after reading the first one, which I loved it took me a little bit to get into this one considering I knew what challenges the characters were going to face; which was all a surprise in the first one. This one did gain some traction though about halfway through it for me. After that I felt the differences both families were being put through and it made me appreciate it a lot more. I am about to start the third book in the series and can't be happier with the direction this one is going to go in.

I read the first in the series and the book gradually grew on me but I wasn't a raving fan.  This was SO much more and even though it is part of a series, it was a whole book.  So much happening and changing.

it was different, not sure if I liked it that much although it did hold my interest but not enough for me to tall someone to read
