The reason why I love this story is because the plot between the characters Halley and Scarlett are relatable and also the issues in it interest to me.

Halley and Scarlett are both juniors in high school and are best friends. In the story, they have mentioned much of what the two have done together as best friends. The story starts with Scarlett losing her boyfriend Michael in a motorcycle crash. And not too long after, Scarlett realizes that she is pregnant with her deceased boyfriend's baby. And at that time, she needs her best friend the most to help her get through these hard times. Also at the same time, Halley is dealing with her new boyfriend, Macon and problems with her parents about rules.

Many of the issues are issues that many teenagers can relate to. I am very envious of the strong relationship that Halley and Scarlett have as friends and how long they have been friends for. Also, I like the description the author used of the various scenes.

The story is pretty touching and the story has a fantastic ending and teaches many lessons about life and friendship.
