I have had this on my shelf for years and it has never been a first pick to read. I randomly landed on this to read on a road trip and I am glad I finally took the chance. This was really quite good. I enjoyed watching the friendship in the story grow and to see character development. I loved that I missed so many clues to the true nature of one of the characters and what she was saying when she wasn't saying it. You'll know what I mean when you read this, cuz I do recommend it. Be warned it talks about torture, war, and death, most of which tears your heart out.
