This was a great book! It was my first Kingsbury novel that I have read. I had heard about her and this book kept jumping out at me at stores all over. I finally read it and was so glad I did! It left me wanting to read more of her books. This one was so great because it is realistic like many of hers are but this is good for all age groups. I enjoyed it as a parent but thought about how I would be in the same situation. I also think my daughter who is in high school would enjoy it as well as respect the message. I wish there were more kids like the ones doing good in this book! I am now reading her latest novel Bailey and it is fun how it sometimes relates back to this book so I understand those tie ins. That is a good book so far as well!
