Like you I liked Eden. I've read many reviews of people who hated her but you know I felt for her and I can only imagine that you would have even more given your past. I just felt that she had been through so much and having been disappointed that many times would be enough to make anyone extra miserable. Yet by the end of the book she was growing as a person and moving on. Ultimately I guess we now find ourselves wishing that Sarah had another book coming out and soon!Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15387389557243960084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-80075061123786317312015-06-12T09:04:21.449-07:002015-06-12T09:04:21.449-07:00Loving the title, the cover not so much.
