MY REVIEW-I was really interested in seeing how this book panned out. It is somewhat tied in with scrap booking and I like doing my own scrapbook. I am very glad I read this book! Courtney does a great job pulling you into the story and feeling like these are real people you are reading about. I felt like I had taken a summer trip to a small town called Sweethaven. The characters were very realistic. The descriptions of the scenery and the whole town made me feel like I was right there. But even better was the story. Excellent job at writing!
