Amy and Nick have one of the most complicated relationships I have ever encountered in print. Their tale begins textbook procedural but takes a turn for something so different. I throughly enjoyed this book and hope the film adaptation does it justice.

The pacing of this book is such that I could not wait to read the next part. I would fight to keep my eyes open just to find out what happened next. The characters were very well developed and intriguing, they kept me riveted.

If I had to sum up this story in a short phrase, I would say twisted love story.
