THOUGHTS: Oh this book.. This is one book that made me cry! I was shocked by how many emotions it brought in me and let me tell you something: I'm NOT an emotional person. Not heartless but if I read a sad story, I would probably just have a poker face on. But this story really made me cry. There are so many different twists to the story that left me speechless that I could not stop reading it. It’s one of those books that just makes you yell at the pages that you’re reading. And since I read it during my work, you can imagine how crazy I looked, yelling at the computer screen lol I really recommend reading this book which you can find on Wattpad. It won Wattpad Awards 2012 and received many votes. I really think that it defiantly opened my eyes on the power of words and very glad I took the time to enjoy this story.
My Castings
Jade. She's such a lovable character and reading about the things in life that she had to go through just makes her that much more appealing to the readers. After she ran away from home she was always struggling in between the jobs and when she got pregnant, she finally took charge of her life. She’s the beautiful and loving mother that just wants to be happy and wants to create the perfect life for herself and her 4 year old daughter, Libby.
Libby is the bubbly little girl who everyone loves. She is probably the most adorable character that I come to read and I love how the author expressed her love to Jade and new people that she met. Ohhhhh I just want to scream how much I come to adore her in the book! Her stories and little things that she did just made me smile.
