This book was so captivating that I read it in one sitting, staying on the edge of my seat the entire time. The ending was so powerful that it still brings me to tears. It's a story about growth and making tough decisions. As an adult, I found it incredibly insightful, and I believe young readers would find it just as meaningful.

Soooo sad! I wasn't expecting the Cooper and Tarah breakup. I'm so shattered about it. They were my favorite couple. CRIES!
