How would you convince a friend to read the book: I guess it really depends on the friend. This book reminded me a lot of Twilight, which is definitely not a good thing, but there were some aspects of the book that were great, like the idea of reincarnation.
Compelling Aspect of the Book: I loved the flashbacks to Constance's life. It was interesting trying to figure out the story from the memories, and it was cool that Haven had a flashback whenever she was near something or someone that reminded her of her previous life as Constance.
Were you disappointed with the book at all: I was disappointed by the “perfect” love interest. I am getting so sick of these guys who lie to their girlfriends and push them around and the girlfriends just look on and insist that really, they're wonderful people. Also, the boys are always gorgeous. What's wrong with normal looking people?
Cover: The cover is awesome. It has bright, pretty colors, and the snake is intriguing and makes you wonder what the book is about.
