People like Us This book was about a Jewish girl and her family. Her over coming the pains that she went through in high school, and why her grandparents and mother don't like inter-religion relationships. When Sarah would go to school every morning, she would always wait to get to her art class because her crush was in that class with her! One day he went up to her and asked if she would like to help with a school project that he was in charge of. She said yes, after thinking about the whole thing for more than three days. They became very good friends and he started to get that little high school crush on her too! He asked her if she would like to go bowling with him and some guys that Friday she went home told her mom and they both were thrilled. After her grandparents heard everything, they asked what religion he was. She didn't know and she told them that but she also knew that he wasn't Jewish. Her mom didn't like the idea of going out with someone that's not the same religion as they were. They didn't want her to start something she couldn't finish. Overall I did like the book because it brought something in to my life that I would other wise not even think about. It's sad to see someone that may be head over heals for someone else, and they couldn't even get started. I would recommend this book to everyone! I love it!
