Easy - Tammara Webber

I've been sitting here for a while trying to figure out how to start this blog post.  I wanted to write this as soon as I finished the book so I could be sure I captured all of my emotions about the book when they were at their strongest.  Now that I'm actually trying to write, it's proving difficult.

This book really hit home for me.  From the characters to the plot, there were so many things that I could personally relate to.  There were several times I found myself feeling as though the story was written for me.  Obviously, I know that is not true.  But it's uncanny sometimes how a book writteen by someone you've never met before can capture so exactly what you're thinking and feeling. 

This book was so hard to put down.  Even when I wasn't reading it, I was thinking about it.  Thinking about what would happen, how the characters would react, how I would react.  This book housed some issues that a lot of people like to pretend don't exist, issues that fall under the category of "that could never happen to me".  I applaud Webber for putting it out there, letting people see how damaging certain human interactions can be.

The characters were developed so well, I thought I personally knew them.  While certain elements of the plot were predictable, there were still elements that I didn't figure out (more along the lines of how something happened rather than what was actually going to happen). The emotions from this book were quite powerful, such that I found myself crying at various parts.  I'm sure that not every reader will have that sort of an emotional response (certain things affect people differently), but I think every reader will be able to appreciate the depth of emotion that comes with a story like this one.

I've never read a book by Tammara Webber before, but I will most definitely be seeking her books out in the future.  She has earned a spot on my "Authors To Watch" list (if you'd like the list for suggestions, just let me know).  After this book, however, I think I will need to read something a little less emotionally involved (back to the girly fluff, I guess).
