WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS THAT!??!! OH MY GoSH! This book, i am not going to lie, almost made me cry. I just absolutely LOVED this. When I first started reading, i didn't think I was going to enjoy it. It overall was a great book and I definitely enjoyed it, like a lot.

**SPOILER**

I thought the part when Dawn's mom had the hair salon woman come in and give the girls wigs was really cute. But I ABSOLUTELY LOVED SUMMER CAMP! I kind of died inside when they met Greg and MIke. I loved how they were all instantly besties. ANd the part when Sandy was like, 'you aren't going swimming?' And Mike was like 'no' and then you find out about the type of cancer he had and I thought that that was really cute that even though everything with his cancer he still went swimming because Sandy wanted him to. I also loved their prank! I definitely think that Dr. Ben will remember that. And I couldn't stop laughing when Sandy said that she wanted to get back at her brother so she sewed flowers on his underwear! I couldn't help it, who does that? I don't know but it is hysterical and now I have a good idea how to get back at my siblings when I get mad at them. I did love this book, unlike I was expecting to. It was a quick easy read- OH AND ONE MORE THING! I died reading this book because after Sandy dies and Dawn receives the box from her, The sparkling pink popcorn necklace was in there and I died. That was such a cute addition as well as when Sandy drew Dawn her 'Imaging' picture. I also just loved how she corresponded her teddy bear collection into the Imaging and I have to say that this book was really great. Ok, Now i am finished, I have to go lay in my bed and try and comprehend everything in this- oh wait! I lied, I'm not finished yet. I don't really know if in the end Dawn ended up with Jake but SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE! I mean, the entire book you and Sandy were talking about how nobody understands and THAT INCLUDES JAKEZ BUT YOU KNOW WHO DOES UNDERSTAND?!?!?!??! GREG BECAUSE HE HAD CANCER AND NOT JUST ANY TYPE! HE HAD LEUKEMIA! THE SAME TYPE AS DAWN! Well, I know that dawn has ALL and Greg's might have been a different type of leukemia but he still understands what Dawn went through. HE IS THE BETTER CHOICE!!!!!!!! OKAY! I AM DONE. FOR REAL THIS TIME. PEACE!

I love how my reviews are constant none sense because Kaley always yelled at me to do it. It was still a good book, I just think that it was a little young at this point, it is very easy to fly through and it would be a good “going to bed” story for a younger kid. I know it’s about cancer but there’s a lot more here too, it’s slightly annoying how it’s all about boys. But it’s set in Ohio, not Cincinnati but you know... close enough.
