Read All About It!

I have anxiety, too. I read the book just recently. I'm doing a book report on it right now-due tomorrow. I thought it was a great book, but it could have used a better ending- or a second book. Tara and Sam should become girlfriend and boyfriend and Tara should help Sam get better and talk about her growing even older, if you make a second book. Even my librarian thinks it's a great book.
