Any novel by Lurlene McDaniel is a 10000 star to me. Any book by her you can't just read a chapter or two at once you end up reading the whole book in one sitting. They are all just that excellent I am telling you. Awesome

This book is very emotional, but very realistic. Its a fantastic book and has an extrodinarily good point of view. ***SPOILER ALERT*** Although in the end it he dies, it is still an extremely good book.
