I agree that it was interesting how each chapter was written from a different characters point of view. You really got to see how each character reacts to the situation.

It was a very fast paced story and I just couldn't put it down because I had to see how it affected each persons life.

I loved this book. Each chapter is a story told by another character. Reminds me of Jodi Piccoult's writing style. I just couldn't put this book down and wanted to keep reading it so I could get answers to questions I had about the story.
