I like that one better. <br /><br />Anyway, I'm really glad you liked it! I cried my guts out when I read this. I still get sad when I think about Lochie and Maya. And oh, I want to strangle Kit too, especially when he did 'that'. :/Chelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09113611207753873326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-8393253806721575112011-07-05T17:29:31.681-04:002011-07-05T17:29:31.681-04:00Wow you have me wondering what the ending is.

It was so emotional. <br /><br />And I have to agree, my favorite parts were just hanging out with family. Seeing them have some good times in the middle of all the bad. <br /><br />So glad you gave it a try and enjoyed it.Missie, The Unread Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548256640926555361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-39310547461327287562011-07-03T12:44:48.609-04:002011-07-03T12:44:48.609-04:00Very nice review.

I had the impression that they were more just there, but your review makes them seem like fully developed characters, which is nice.Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-90805192353357777652011-07-03T00:47:02.263-04:002011-07-03T00:47:02.263-04:00First of all, I completely agree about the cover. ...First of all, I completely agree about the cover. Not a huge fan.<br /><br />Secondly, this book has skyrocketed to the top of my list of favorite books, right under Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta and The Giver by Lois Lowry. Ever since watching a heartbreaking documentary about incest a few years ago, I've been relatively open-minded about it so I didn't have trouble reading this book. I honestly don't remember the last time I finished a book and cried so hard. This book was so touching. I doubt there's a person who could read this and not feel the chemistry between Maya and Lochan.<br /><br />I'm so glad to see that Forbidden has been getting great reviews from everybody. Your review was excellent.

I read it last year and it has to be the most powerful and gut wrenching book I have read. <br /><br />I am not a huge fan of that US cover either.Nic @ Irresistible Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09774834560378283927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-59558986950929719072011-07-02T17:01:55.924-04:002011-07-02T17:01:55.924-04:00This book tore me up.
