Every Last One: A Novel by Anna Quindlen

Every Last One is a quick, emotional read.

The character's are wonderfully created and the storyline is shocking and realistic. I don't want to give up to much because the unexpected does occur and I for one did not see it coming.

The violence and aftermath is unthinkable. I absolutely loved every single page of this book and look forward to reading more of Quindlen's work in the future.

Grade: A+
