Amazing Book for Strong Teens

When I walked into my school media center, I had seen this book called Lucy Peale. I thought nothing of it. So, I took the book... The cover drew me, the preview of it drew me.. Before I knew it, I was sitting in my car reading it. This book was so incredibly amazing! It can show how a young girl can grow strong with the help and love of others. In this case, Jake. I feel in love with Jake's character and sense of compassion. I hope there is a follow up to this story. I would love it! And be right there to purchase it. Thanks for a great book!

A Heartwarming Story

This is a wonderful book about Lucy, a girl who finds herself pregnant and homeless, and then she meets Jake, who is the most wonderful, perfect, kind, caring guy in the whole world. A wonderful love story.

I LOVED THIS BOOK!

I LOVED THIS BOOK SOOO MUCH!!! I went to the library one day and checked out this book. As soon as I started reading I could not put it down! It shows all kinds of teen topics, such as pregnancy, alcohol, parents, and most importantly, friendship!

Thoughts

Great read. Characters are solid. This book is a must read

Great Young Adult story.

This is one of the best young adult books I have read. I picked it up in a book store in Myrtle Beach to read on the trip home, I'm glad I got this one. The story is wonderful, but I seriously think there is a 1 in 1,000 chance of finding a guy like the one in the book. He was just so caring and perfect to Lucy. It is a must read.
