Reviews
I am not a teenager; but that does not mean I cannot enjoy the YA, reading books. I find a lot of them more touching than ones, of my own age. Lurlene McDaniel, is one of my top favorite authors. This book breathless, is a really good book- and you will surely find it touching, and you'll shed a few tears here and there- but that is how well, of a writer she is though. Even, the book "Saving Jessica- that one is very touching and it ends very well; it made me cry at the end. You'll enjoy this author, as well- I am sure to say
