Convince us to read the book: This book really portrays the meaning of life, and how to live life the fullest. That there are special people out in this world and that you just have to take the time to notice that the’re out there.
Compelling Aspect of the Book: The most compelling aspect of the book was the plot. Throughout the entire book many moral messages seemed to pop out: how to cope with divorce, how to cope with the loss
of a loved one, the struggle with friendships, and how to keep your bonds between your loved ones. Unlike other books that have many sub plots, this book did a fantastic job really portraying the many aspects of life, and that more than one struggle will be going on at once. The book did this amazingly, without it being too overwhelming.
Were you disappointed with the book at all: I was disappointed about the ending of the book; it felt like it just ended. I was upset that she (Grace) didn't choose the grandson. It felt like he was introduced, that there was possibly some romantic link between Grace and him, and then it just ended. Like that! And she ran back to Erin.
Cover: The cover did not tempt me to pick up the book. Only the title did. Who wants to read a book with a teenage girl with a gloomy face on the cover-really?!? Grace (at least to me) was not like that at all, in fact, she was quite the opposite of a gloomy, depressed looking teenager. She was a vibrant young lady. And the cover of the book did not reflect the contents of the book at all.
