"Review"
I really enjoyed this book. This book has the feel of a teen romance but in truth the book takes a much more interesting social stance. The book not only focuses on finding yourself and keeping love like most teen books but also on what makes an action a good one. how do you know what is right and when do we brake our own rules for the right thing.
So not only is this a interesting book with strong characters and a powerful plot line but it also will make the reader think and push them to be more then they where before.
I have found that more and more these day books are like candy it tasks good but does little for you. This book is more like a nice burger it task good but it also has everything you need to grow.
I would give this book an 8.3 out of 10
