It looks like a classic romance from the cover, but this book gives a remarkable view of what it must feel like to be close to death, in a disaster, and how it changes your perspective. Extremely well written and thought provoking. Has a satisfying ending that makes perfect sense.

I have enjoyed many books by Rosie Thomas but this has to be the best so far, simply for the depth of emotion it is written. I was totally moved by this book and feel the auther suceeds in making it as realistic and as thought provoking as possible. I felt I knew the characters and could feel what they felt. It does not follow a classic 'love story' path and therefore is hard to put down as you become so engrossed, never knowing what will happen. A wonderfully written book, it touches the heart.

Oh what a must read this book is - from start to finish I was hooked by the storyline and the depth of feelings that Rosie Thomas portrays is excellent - the story just seemed to touch me deep down and by the end I was crying
One of the best books I have read for years
