~*~Review~*~
4 out of 5 stars
The book started of intense with the main character about to jump off a bridge to end her life but then William "Do-gooder" as she likes to call him, stops her. This is where their journey starts. Charlotte and William take a ride like literally a ride. They go to these races that finally bring something back into Charlotte's life. William feels the need to keep Charlotte alive and safe so he makes it his mission to be after her. He always asks her are you with me Jumper and I think that it is so sweet that he is looking after Charlotte even though she is a complete stranger. There is just something about William's protectiveness that automatically makes you like him. Their banter in the beginning is really great to because you can tell that even though Charlotte is down she can still be funny and witty. What Wiliam does though, will make you question how Charlotte will react so read the book to find out! What I found a little bit weak in the book was how the book was slow sometimes and then went by really quickly because it went through a certain time too fast. I really needed more of an ending too because I needed to know more about what William and Charlotte were doing with there lives. The beginning really had me interesting but I think the rest of the book was ok. I think it needed a little something more towards the end like more detail to understand more about what was going on. Other than that it was an overall good book.
