YAY!!!!!!!

Chapter 28 (view spoiler)[I'm really enjoying this book and feel for Dax and his life in Foster Care. But I have to say I'm a bit bothered by the situation poor Autumn is in with Jeff. Obviously his mother is beside herself, but she didn't really know Autumn as Jeff's girlfriend and I feel like it's a lot of pressure having Autumn go visit him like it will help him get better. I can see why her anxiety is getting worse. It's a sad situation and I hope Jeff gets better. Also, even though there are a ton of rules at the group home, it seems like an okay environment. The foster parent has been nice to Autumn and allowed her to break the rules a little when visiting Dax. I'm sure a group home would need a ton of structure to work and the home he was at before wasn't good. Oh and I love that they are both still wearing the bracelets. (hide spoiler)]

I agree!

Chapter 8 (view spoiler)[So I don't like her friends...how do they not know where she is? Something just doesn't seem right. I do like Dax however. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

I felt the same way!!

Chapter 33 (view spoiler)[ I think it is awful how Dallin is blaming her for Jeff's accident and doesn't like her. I feel like she is caught in such a tight spot and is going to come out looking bad in this situation. Especially as she grows closer to Dax and his mom thinks she is Jeff's girlfriend. She also needs to tell her friends about the anxiety. (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[Oh my I was stressed out a bit with this book expecting friend drama with Autumn liking Dax and still feeling obligated to Jeff. I kept thinking it was going to blow up in her face even if she wasn't doing anything wrong. I was stressed for nothing she had great understanding friends in the end. She just needed to be honest. Dax's mom was awful lying to Autumn and then tellinG Dax. Autumn was such a nice girl always putting others over herself and I'm glad in the end she was honest and did what was right for her!!
