7. Opinion of the book My personal opinion of this book is that, it is a really good book. The only part I would change is how it changes from talking about her sister then right back to her but my favorite part is her sister leaves her the note in her dream book, and at the end says see you there but if you like books that give a lot of surprises and is about a bunch of teenagers and their drama life's, I would suggest this book.
