Noah & Echo, they just... *sigh* Okay, Noah & Echo... I completely agree with you about the both of them. They captured my heart. Also, I'm so glad you mentioned Mrs. Collins and Lila. <br />I think you said it best when you wrote about there really being three stories in PTL, and I think Katie did an awesome job writing and making each story so vital & captivating.<br />Another awesome review, Alexa! <3The Reading Enchantresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00680286498241640276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335649676143335614.post-87266016634508740682012-08-12T10:08:31.604-04:002012-08-12T10:08:31.604-04:00AWESOME review!

This was truly an incredible book and you can tell the story was touching because I ugly cried hardcore at the end of it. Not because the ending was sad but because I had so much pent-up emotions throughout the whole thing.Katelynhttp://talesofbooksandbands.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335649676143335614.post-61870059650328584482012-08-10T23:05:03.563-04:002012-08-10T23:05:03.563-04:00I'm so glad to hear that the characters are st...I'm so glad to hear that the characters are strong in this book! Characters are the most important part of any story for me.

Echo and Noah were great characters -- while I didn't like their instalove, I understood it. I think two damaged souls are just drawn to one another. <br /><br />Great review!Kristilyn (Reading in Winter)http://www.readinginwinter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335649676143335614.post-86364071721435470562012-08-10T14:14:24.187-04:002012-08-10T14:14:24.187-04:00I did like the both Noah and Echo's stories in...I did like the both Noah and Echo's stories in their own right. And I agree with you that there was balance in the tough subjects. The book was never depressing, though it could have easily been. And you're absolutely right about Mrs. Collins! There should be more people like her, I loved that she genuinely wanted to help other people and was ready to go to great lengths to do so!<br />And yeah, Noah was pretty awesome with his brothers! :DDaisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11468649356197119023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335649676143335614.post-56009390451000842052012-08-10T13:08:07.351-04:002012-08-10T13:08:07.351-04:00I'm so glad you enjoyed this book.

I'm excited about the next book, Beth's book, but I have to admit that I do want MORE of the story of Noah and Echo.
