The cover gave me chills at first but the story line was too promising to pass up so I read it anyway and I'm glad I did. This is actually a wonderful read, with a little Romeo & Juliet touch. I was a little dissapointed when Nicky gave up on their love that easy whilst Jimmy wanted to fight for it so bad. Could she be any more stupid? Anyway, I'm glad they're back together and have the happy ending they always dreamed of. Funny I didn't remember Billy at all (Billy who?). Like I said, this is a wonderful read, I recommend.
