Summary: Best Book I ever read
Review: this book.... this book is the best one ive ever read... for me, it was so life-like since Jimmy was a lot like me, and Gracie is a lot like my friends... this book brought me to tears... i had to stop reading or i would have starting sobbing, and sobbing during algebra isnt good... even when i let my friends borrow the book, they cried... and they also kept putting me in Jimmy's place...
I recommend this book to anyone... it is a great book that brings reality to you...

Summary: Over done
Review: ~Ok, don't get me wrong, I didn't hate the book... just the way it was written. I loved the story behind it and it was moving and emotional, but the "way" the author wrote it annoyed me to the very end. The dialog between the characters and just the little things they said ~!~ Nobody really talks that way. I don't know, but just because of how they talked to eachother made it really apparent that an adult wrote the book and not the 17 yr old girl who lost her close friend. And the whole point of a book is to make the characters come to life, right? It would've worked for me if only the conversations had been more realistic.
