ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Ingrid is a French girl, college student, and dreamer. She currently resides in Paris, where she spends most of her time going to museums and the movies. Despite the romantic atmosphere in Montmartre, or even the fancy cafés in the Champs Elysées, she would easily trade it all for a nice walk in the woods with her schnauzer, Golden. She's always craving adventures, and finds that books are the cheapest way to travel to far-away lands. She's inwardly convinced that words have the power to heal the worst blisters on our hearts, or at least can make us forget about them for a little while. And sometimes, it's just enough to face another crazy day.

MY OPINION:

I was speechless at the end. Nickelsen has written an excellent piece of fiction. I love her imagination. From first word to the to the last one I was spellbound. Her writing skills are very mature and every sentence has a feeling. The ending made me cry. The best couple I have ever read, Will and Eve and I am naming them as 'Evil'. I encourage romance and fiction readers to read this book.

RATE: 

5/5

PRAISE:

"This is one of those beautiful books, that stays inside your head for weeks after you finish it, because of its heart touching scenes and question filled thoughts."
