MY REVIEW

I'm not going to explain the plot because the synopsis pretty much says it all!

Let's talk about Eden first. She has got to be one of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE protagonists of all time!! Hve you ever felt that you're exactly like a main character in the book!? Well Eden is exactly like me-not physically but character wise. She has a burning passion for writing and carries a notebook everywhere and instead of solving a math equation she's thinking of a new story plot (ME!!!!) She's bullied but she doesn't give a shit what anyone says about her. You'll never see her cower in a corner, she'll stand up for herself. She's kind of a smart mouth to teachers and everything she says is the kind of stuff i say when i'm with my friends! You know the awkward, babbling type that makes everyone laugh? Well that's us!!! I just absolutely ADORE her.

Plot wise this book had me on a rollercoaster. Jaxson was so mysterious and he had some many different personalities, i didn't know which one was the real Jaxson. I'm not gonna reveal the plot because if i do i won't stop raving about how AMAZING it is and ruin for all of you! Just know that it is EPICALLY AMAZING. I know, epically isn't a word but for such an other worldly book, and other worldly word is needed!

I honestly was not expecting this book to be this awesome but it really gripped me! I've been reading for a whole day-except to do my math h/w (YAWN!)-just could not put it down! Everything had just the right amount of everything! You never pitied Eden because she's such a strong character, you find yourself cheering her on and i just found her compassion for aunt so sweet! She had an amazing friend to help and this book was mainly focused on her drive to prove herself not crazy.

I definitely did not foresee any of the turn of events. You definitely won't either because the intrigue keeps you questioning everything until way after a glimmer of something is revealed but it's not something you expect! Loved the romance!!!Jaxson=drool+swoon for me! Cliffhanger is killing me, still can't get over it!!! Cannot WAIT TILL THIS SEQUEL!!!
