The book was a great anticipation the whole way through. I was on the edge of my seat during every chapter waiting to see what happened next! It captured me so much that I didn't even want to put it down. The author made me realize that you should really appreciate what you have before it's gone. An even larger idea the story illustrates is that miracles can happen. I can't give much detail without giving it away, but something I never thought was possible happened! I really loved the setting the author picked because it was a really small town. Even when I read it, it made me feel like I was there. Everyone knew each other because the town was so small. I also loved that it was set near the beach because it gave a very romantic feel to it.
