I was so totally thrown by the twist that the author put in, I had chills.
I would love to tell you several things that unfold but I really think you need to experience the twists and turns as I did.
I will give you one little tidbit-the ending rocked.
The author really hit this one out of the ball park. Impressive read.

This book is perfect for me for several reasons. The first thing that stood out to me about Young Love Lost is the vivid, rich writing style that the author uses to express the story.
This is one of the few books where I feel that I can really visualize it almost exactly how the author intended it to be expressed and it's definitely due to the detail-rich writing.
What really had me hooked, though, is the blend of romance and mystery that are combined through the plot; both of these genres are two of my favorite so it's great for me to see them mixed together so well and executed so flawlessly.
