***Beware Potential spoilers*** I loved the main characters in this book, Eden and Silas. Watching them fall in love in the midst of the deprivation of others was really enjoyable. I really got invested in their story and rooting for them to overcome. About 75% of the way through, something horrible happens and they reach a climax in their relationship. I am on the edge of my seat, waiting to see what will happen. I go to the next chapter which begins eight years later! At first, I didn't realize it was so long, because I am not one of those readers who pays attention to dates listed at the beginning of chapters. The story jumps eight years ahead with Silas and Eden living separate lives and then there are five more chapters before they see each other again. At the end, they wind up together and it is a happy ending, but I have to say that the absence of years and then the long amount of time getting them together from there, really took the wind out of my sails for liking the story. I found myself reading the last quarter of the book because I couldn't leave it unfinished, versus the original excitement that I had for them overcoming their obstacles.
