I thought this was a good read. I liked it better than Twilight. The characters were more likeable and believable.

I liked it better than twilight too for several different reasons. I think the time traveling plot was done in a really clever way, also.

Looks like what I wanted to say has already been said. Way better than Twilight. Good characters, intriguing story, much better writing in general. I'm looking forward to the sequel as well.

This was such a fabulous book! I loved the way the author got us to invest so quickly into the characters. They were well developed and we were cheering for them from the start! The story was exciting and I had a hard time putting it down- I read it in one day!
