Michelle Sutton, top reviewer for Amazon says,

This is one of the oddest books I've read in a long time, but I found it compulsively readable. I kept wanting to know what would happen next. I really liked the fact that a good portion of the story was set in Arizona and every scene mentioned a place that I'd been to including Metro Center, so that was cool. I won the book on the internet and because of the cover I thought it was an inspirational title (plus the publisher is Vinspire and that publisher does carry inspirational titles) but found out it was not Christian fairly early on. At the same time I told myself it was fiction, and hey, it was interesting, so I kept reading.

The story did inspire me in some ways. I liked the mysterious changes that happened to them after they went to the crop circle so it was a great way to show tension in a relationship resulting from those changes. There was a lot of stuff about AA in there as well as crystals and it had a general Sedona-type weirdness when it came to spirituality. But I still enjoyed the story. At first I wasn't sure I'd like the ending, and my heart really ached for Lang. I felt like I understood him. The ending turned out to be one of the best parts of the book, so if you read this story, hang in there.

The author delves deep into the characters' emotions and she addresses issues of trust, friendship, and the cost of true love. If you like a deep read and don't mind a little weirdness when it comes to crystals and unexplained healings, you'll enjoy this one.
