lol...ok ok ok that was to get your attention, now that i know your reading this let me begin by saying "I LOVE this book" (seriously) Me, im not the type who enjoys reading alot, i actually HATE it to Death, i would rather run infront of a car then to pick up a book and read. But this book got to me. It is such an intresting book It seemed so real and i like how the author wrote it (like how it should be).
Suggestions:read Jane Mendelsohn's first novelI Was Amelia Earheart
