This is a very good book. It makes you smile and laugh at one point, but then at another it makes you cry. Cassie is starting to have feelins for a boy which she said she wouldn't have until she finished school. A lot of things happen in this one book you just wish that it never comes to an end. Wishing that there was another part to the book. Wanting to know what happened after everything. This book is so amazing that you have to get one and read it yourself!!!
