3.0

I don't know what to give this. I read it approximately 8 years ago, and I just remembered that I read it... this book broke my heart. I was destroyed and I cried so much. It was during the time that Justin Timberlake and TI (? I think it's them) song came out "Dead and Gone" and every time I would hear that song my heart would ache and my mind would rush with scenes from this book and these characters.

Maybe someday I will reread it and relive the heartbreak this story gave me. And that will be a more honest rating because I cannot remember if through all the crying and emptiness I still loved or hated the book... I just recall the pain it left me in.
