Book Rate: 10!

This book is freaky awesome. I've been waiting to read this book forever. Then I saw it in my library and took it before anyone else gets it. So like if anybody checks it out now I'll be the first reader of this book.

Ok So, I really feel bad for Ruby being sent to Thurmond and her parents giving her away just like that. They could just tried to solve it or bring her to the doctor make her eat some medicine that would make her better. Not called the police right away.

At first I hate really Liam because of his attitude but later on I kind of like him.

So overall I really like this book. The title and the cover was really interesting, that's when I want to read the book because of that.
