Ope’s Opinion: I just finished this book – it was so good! Anyone who left for college or is getting ready to, will certainly relate to the story of good byes. It is an emotionally hard time of life, with so much uncertainty ahead. I think Jennifer E. Smith captured the emotional roller coaster very well.
