I loved this story — the plot, the characters, the growth, and the romance. I felt that the writing wasn’t as mature; given that this book is geared towards younger readers, I suppose it makes sense. However, all the characters were lovable, and I loved the lesson of second chances. The themes of love, family, and friends were strong throughout, which I really enjoyed reading. Overall, despite the fact that I found myself wishing that the writing was more sophisticated, I really enjoyed the book.
Moderate: Child death, Death, Violence, and Blood
