In this short read, there are twists, turns, and a range of emotions. The reader experiences the frustration, sadness, and love that each of the characters feel and follows the journey between Hanna and Michael. As the story progresses, you see that love may not be all that it is made out to be.

Clockwork Controversy
I decided to read this book off a recommendation from my mom.
