This book had a major turning point and a shocking one to say the least. I wasn't expecting to read about a love story that started to bloom in the beginning and then to see it unravel towards the end. One of the biggest secrets comes out that completely destroyed the relationship that they had developed throughout the book. It was a book that had you questioning things as you read and one that made you feel the characters pain as you continued to read and the hurt that was caused due to this massive secret that slowly unraveled.
