                                                            5 Stars
                                                        ★★★★★

I gave this book 5 stars because, it is an extremely east book to read. Also the author really made it feel like you were living in the book, you could picture everything that happened. Additionally I really loved how the author put the book in letter format instead of traditional chapters, you could actually tell a lot easier how the main character was feeling.
