It Made Me Cry!

Hi, I am a 16 yr. old girl. After I read this book I cried for like 2 days straight because it knocked so much sense into my head. I loved it and I think that it really has changed the way I treat my relatives. I would definitly recommend this book for anyone. It's the best book I have read yet!

I luuuuurrrrrrvvvvveeeeddd it!

It was wonderful and I think anyone out there who enjoys books about death, friendship, family, tragedy and even suspense should read this. It's quite sad sometimes, and you're just about ready to bring out all the tears and release the floodgates then the mood changes and gets you smiling in relief and in happiness again. I read this two years ago and I always mark it down as MY FAV. BOOK of all times. You should definitely read it. You seem to be watching a movie and then suddenly you feel as if you're really there, standing right with Beth and behind Terri and you are so engrossed in the book all the characters seem to be like your friends, your family. It is a truly wonderful book and in my opinion, you should definitely read it.

This book made me cry

This book made me cry. Lurlene Mcdaniel is my favorite writer. She makes me think about the future. That everyone has a chance to get seriouse illnesses. This book is one of my favorite because i had a sister that died when i was 4. I didn't cry the day of her accident, but reading this book made me realize how my parents felt.My sister now is still thinking about her , but i felt so bad bacause i never got to take care of her.what if my whole family dies and i would have to move away.Lurlene Mcdaniel's books tell me that life isn't always fair.When i read 1 of her books it made me want to read more. Her book was the first book that made me cry, and i don't cry!

I swear, you will LOVE this book

I read this book in about two days. This was a really good book! I loved it. It's about Beth, her family goes on an annual picnic and Beth stays behind because she is sick. But her father gets into a horrible accident on the way to the picnic..and every member of her household gets killed. Now she has no one. She is forced to go live with her aunt in a totally different state, and leave her friends and home behind. To top it all off, she has to stay in the same house with her bratty cousin, whom she never really liked. Her struggle to gain her life back, move on, and meet new friends, while trying to forget about her past, is hard. Do you think she can make it? Read this icredible book to find out. Believe me when I say..you wont regret it!

This Was Such An Incredible Book!

This book was so incredibly good! Oh, I laughed and I cried (well, bawled, really) and I think that this is one of the best books that I have read, and I have read alot...I think that if you are looking for a tear-jerker (and I wasn't when I stumbled upon this book), then you'll get it in this book...so good...and I think that it had a perfect ending...
