I LOVED this book, I could not put it down. I felt so close to Katie in this book, like I was her best friend and she was telling it all to me herself. I laughed out loud at some of the things she said in her blogs, I rarely laugh out loud when reading. The passion that Katie feels is what pulls me in the most, she feels with every part of her being even though it seems like she tries to deny that to herself. The ending was perfect to me… I know a lot of people did not agree with the ending but it opens you up to imagine what happened with the rest. I finished the book last night and all I can think about is what happened, where is she, was this planned, how do I want her story to end.

Well after reading most of the reviews I guess, you (Allison Burnett) obviously know that most of your readers are upset about the ending of this amazing novel. I’d have to say that although it was bitter end, it was quite an adequate touch! It’s like a fish that got away. You put bait out for your readers, we accepted and we continued reading not knowing what to expect; we get hooked. Then you catch us with this amazing ending!
I’m glad I got to finally finish reading your book! I had bought it december 2009 just before starting my actual college semester which was perfect =) I am definitely recommending your book!
Please keep writing!

I finished this book in three days. If I didn’t have to go to school I probably would have finished it in one! I thought it was extremely good; humourous, dark, cynical, serious and just plain crazy all at the same time. I just really wish the book had some closure. It frustrated me sooooo much that it ended the way it did. I don’t really understand why the author would end it that way. It seems very arbitrary and kind of pointless as well. A great read overall but wouldn’t bother with it again.
