I could not put this book down! I cried, laughed, and didn't want it to end. This was a beautiful story about a girl growing up, facing her problems, and falling in love all while losing and gaining throughout. This book was different than any other young adult book I've read. The life lessons were amazing and gave that extra touch. Well done!
