Personal Reflection

I think that this book it a wonderful book. It has comedy, romance, and drama. " The name I came up with was Ema Nekaf." This is funny beacuse if you read the name backwards it is Fake Name." This book is great for teens and even young adults. "She was gorgeous." Scotts crush was gorgeous and had a huge crush on her. This book really intriguing and grabs you from the start. From the very first word to the very last this book is awesome. I recommomend this book to the whole world.
