review of Jump the Cracks:
"Its not the typical young adult novel. Victoria has heart where others would give up. And although I probably wouldn't do what she did I could, to some extent, understand why she did it. She learns so much during the course of the book - although its...more " | |||

review of Jump the Cracks:
" I plowed right through this book, as I do most books that I like. It was hard for me to give this book 5 stars at first since it was so short, but at the end of the day that's what the book deserves. Admittedly, a lot of the plot is given away if yo...more " | |||

Loving someone is making promises you want to keep with all your heart, and then doing everything you can to make it happen, even if you fail sometimes. But the point is to try, because that's how you stretch yourself and learn you can do more than you thought you could. And maybe next time, you'll stretch a little farther."

"Home can be only one place. That's what 'home' means . 'Two homes' is like 'most unique.' Unique means one of a kind, nothing else like it.And just like something is either unique or it's not, someplace is either home or it's not. Telling me I had two homes just made me feel like I had no home at all."
