"I found this book very touching, and quickly became absorbed in the plot. Yes, it's somewhat predictable, but Kingsbury added enough uncertainty and intrigue to keep the story moving. I will continue with the series, although I hope the following books come with more character development. "
— Kharissa (4 out of 5 stars)
“Minus the heavy doses of counseling references and descriptions of the characters’ surpassing gorgeousness, Kingsbury’s writing is much improved from Halfway to Forever."
