Sarah is heartbroken and doesn't want to tell Miles because their relationship will be ruined. Miles starts to have depression and forgets about all the good things in his life.

I really liked this book because it had romance and mystery in it. I gave this book five stars. I think anyone could read it because it doesn't have that hard of a vocabulary but it could be read by young adults and teenagers.
