Ratings and reviews

My star rating is currently for the movie, but will update once I finish the book. I started reading this book awhile back but only the first chapters, it starts off good, just wasn't hooked . The movie came on and I watched it and holy hell, was it so good!! Now I'm determined to finish reading this book, hoping it's even better than the movie.

I have a book of this one!! i cried alot,and i hate it that Dexter didnt see how Em loves him its obvious!!every time i think about of this book,i felt crying,cant get over it!!one of the best books ive read!!

Cute read. Not exactly the greatest writing, but a good book to curl up with on a rainy weekend.
