My title may make it sound as if I appreciated the book, but I hate
the chickensoup books. I've always found them to be annoying and
over done. I thought that this book started off well, but after a
while I started to get sick of it. I found the characters to be
boring and the plotline to be tedious. I agree with the first
reviewer here who said the "relationship" in the story was not
intersting at all. It had me hating both the teacher and the
mother. After I got halfway through the book, I found it slowly
growing more and more unrealistic. You can call me cynical, but I'm
never going to believe that anyone could act in the way the
characters did in the book. The ending was maudlin. I knew that I
should be crying or at least upset, but I wasn't at all. Overall
the book was a disppoinment.
