So the cover initially drew me in ; Who doesn't love a product in fancy packaging ! the first 52 pages we are introduced to are thrilling . The first pages set you up and draw you in ; more than the cover will . If you are a dog lover - beware the first pages can be.... sad . But I am loving it so far ! Its so real that I can step right into Patrick's shoes . Its so relatable without being real and to me that's very important in not only the first few pages but to carry it along outside of the initial hook makes a really good author; and for a great story . I cant wait to read the rest of the story !
