This is definately my favorite book. Mrs. Wood, the seventh grade math teacher, told me that I should read it. This story is absolutley precious. I would recomend it to anyone. While, reading it, I realized that no matter what, you should live life to its fullest because time is so precious, you should love without any regrets, and most importantly in everything that you do, you should do it in Christ Jesus. This book is easy to read because it grabs your attention and pulls you in. After reading it, I also realized that no matter how bad things may seem, God is always on my side; I believe that He puts people in our lives for reasons because He has a plan for all of us.
