[Lynette M. Augeri · Rating 2 out of 5]

I didn’t like this book at all. It was really hard to get through. Very choppy. No good flow. No decent transitions. No depth of character. I’m really not that hard to please and do often read ‘lighter’ and ‘fluff’ books that don’t need all my brain cells-and I enjoy them. This one-not at all.

I like this book because it shows us that we have possibilities in many aspects, but we must know how to take advantage of them
