Customer Reviews

a sad, but sweet love story

I read this book for the first time when I was in eighth grade. It is a wonderful story of young adults dealing with death and life after it. But in the mist of all the heartache that goes with death, Mr. Carter weaves in a delightful love story that will leave you feeling good about yourself and those around you.I would strongly recommend this book to any young adult reader (or adult reader for that matter) because of the story's simple look at a hard topic. This is one book that you will want to read again!

A story of friends that stand by each other in tragedies!

I rated this book as a 5 star rating, because this story was very interresting the whole way through. It is very difficult for me to get interrested in reading. This story inspired me to keep reading. The tragedy of Sheila was very sad and the help from her friends Bonnie and Jerry was so awesome. I totally recommend this book to everyone to read.
