[Jessica Duplin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Again for me, another all nighter. i get into a book like this and its all i want to do. Main character Ben i felt was a sweet guy anyone could know. he just could not shake the luck and i cried when he got his life back on track. was cheering at the end of the book. i read the paperback verson of this book and its looking very worn out from being read.Its not every author who can make you love every aspect of their books and let you into their thoughts. Mr.Barnes has done it again!
