Review:
I loved Before I Die, so I had big hopes for this book, and I loved it! Ellie's family and Mikey's family are quite different, so when they meet, it's quite odd, the two completely different worlds collide and it turns into something amazing. Jenny Downham wrote about Ellie's family and surroundings and Mikey's family and surroundings so well, I could picture it all perfectly in my head. I love the characters, their personalities and the overall plot of this book. You go on a journey with both families, and when going on this journey you begin to understand them all better, which is something I love. Everything is described beautifully, and I would love Jenny Downham to write more books, since I adore both of her novels. I'd recommend this to people 13+. And one more thing, I love the cover, it's so simplistic and beautiful!
