She's set to make honor roll, her print from photography class might win a national contest, and her crush just asked her to prom. Then the bottom falls out.

Although not everything is answered, I did like the closure this book gave compared to the last book I read. Overall, a good story and good pacing. I wouldn‘t mind reading nor by this author down the road. Overall, pretty good, not outstanding, but a good quicker YA read.
