What a marvelous story. Once I started, I couldn’t seem to put it down. Amandahad me intrigued right from the beginning. She was easy to relate to, especially since I too experience anxiety. This made me feel as though I could connect with her. I felt this book was very well written, and the characters had depth, which is one of the things I enjoy most about books. This one one you will for sure want to pick up!
