A Quickie Review

When Holly's uncle/stepfather announces that their family will have to move to Denver because of his job, she is devastated. All her friends are in Dressel Hills! Will she have to leave Andie, Paula, Jared, and all her other lifelong friends? Though Holly-Heart's grief is understandable--sometimes even adults don't like being forced to move!--I felt that the ending was a bit too neat and realistic.  Still, this is better than the last book in the series; hopefully, it'll get back to what it once was before it ends.



Score: 3.5/5
