Greates book ever.

I am Rose from Naches Valley Middle School. I think this book was great from the sad moments to happy ones. I would recommened this book to anyone.

This is one of the best books written!!

When Julie finds out that Matt has cancer she does her best to get him through it. She was full of love for him and I felt that there was a very strong bond between them. I can't wait until another book by Jennifer Baker comes out!!
