I think this book was really good because of the way it was written and the way stuff was said. This book reminded me that I should be happy for what I have and if I don't have something that I want to just remember that not everybody has what I have.
This book sounds very emotional. No matter the situation of your life, you can always think of something worse. Your life can always be improved. This book sounds great! Thank you for posting a superb book!!!!!
ReplyDeleteRebbeca- it's easy to take things for granted. I'm happy this book made you value the things you have. It's a very positive way of thinking!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like I would really like this book. I have been told to be happy with what I have a lot also. My dad always say that I am a very lucky girl.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to Dorothy's comment because my mom tell sme the exact same thing when things dont seem to go my way :p This seems like the sort of book most people can relate to which makes it a very nice book to read. I also feel bad for Abbie by reading this blog because nothing seems to be going her way. It seems like one bad thing after the other.
