My "best friend" (ugh) seems to think I'm going to fall off the deep end because I read a book with cuss words. /: But anyway, if you look past the language, the book is incredible.

It's edited to an inch of it's life for a break neck speed that propels you head first into the situations that Regina finds herself in.
