"This was a great book. It really pulled me in, and I related to each character. There is a LOT going on, but it all ends with a great lesson. The only thing that I didn't like was the descriptive sex scenes. "
— Krista (4 out of 5 stars)

— Michelle, 5/28/2010" A rather dark book, not a happy subject. "
— Betty, 5/3/2010" Excellent character development, good description of environment (although I really got cold with all the running in the snow!) and community. Very believable. "
— Sharon, 4/12/2010" VERY fluffy but that is why i picked it up. I thought I wanted a light fast book but it always feels like empty calories when you read her books. Enjoyable but not satisfying. Now onto this months book pick and I will be screaming for something light again. : ) "
