Forever.
This was an amazing book and the other two books are fantastic as well!!! I mean my description is pretty bad because it is soooo much better than that it is full of betrayal, secrets, and a little romance. I would recommend it to boys and girls (not a girly or boyish book) 11 and up.
3 out of 3 stars
Read it and tell everyone you know to read it.
