From the start I was thrown into the world of the main character, Auden Jones. The tragedy that the story is based on makes you want to cry for the pain that Auden's family suffers. The author perfectly creates the setting to support just how much despair is engrained into the family. When Auden gets to her aunts house, meeting someone along the way, it's almost as if it's a new start, and you're immediately brought into higher spirits at the new environment. I love the way this author manages to twist a readers feelings throughout the story, and the abundant descriptions create such an amazing book. I love the introductions of the four guys, each meeting Auden in their own unique way. All of the characters personalities are each, literally, their own person. As a person who loves music, I loved the fact that the author put a piece of music at the beginning of each chapter to listen to, it really creates that connection between the reader and the story, and I loved how it was literally a part of the fourth chapter. There were only a few mistakes here and there, nothing extreme, making it easy to sit back and enjoy the story. I also love the relationships that are created through the characters, each having their own mini story between them. As you're reading the story you can tell just how much work and effort went into writing each chapter. I seriously can't express how much I love this story, this plot, the characters,  I don't mind waiting for the next chapter to be published just so I can continue the story. I without hesitation recommend reading citywaves 's Don't Look Back, and I know you will love it as much as I do.
