I am so in love with this book, can i just say that i feel so GUILTY in saying that i loved the daughter's story soooooo much even though she was 16 yrs old, i think the author did a great job touching on teenage love it was just right. Both mother and daughter were well written and thought out because to have written a story also about the 16 YEAR OLD daughter was excellent and unexpected and i wish the daughter's story could have continued on with another book with the daughter being older of course *smiling* ..THE BOOK WAS THAT GOOD. but can't forget the mother...JUST GET THE BOOK AND READ IT ITS WORTH THE BUY.....
