Very few books can capture my heart in the first few pages as this one did. The way I felt that I was right there, seeing what Jack was seeing, feeling what he was feeling, it had reached out and grabbed ahold. Just the description of Matty had my heart breaking. I need to read this book in its entirety!!! Not want, need!! I feel like I know Jack a little. I need to know what happens to him and Matty. I have to know that they end up being okay. A huge kudos (do people still say that??) to the author. This is going to be one helluva book!!
