Ms. Goldwyn has given her characters Gayle and Dave their own book. Finally giving the readers what they wanted from the beginning. These two have grown up and have entered college and the compilations of the adult world. In the adult world they face struggles and other real-world issues that many readers can relate to. AS a reader I found Kathi's writing style drawing me into the story leading me to cheer, hope, yell and cry right along with her well written, defined characters. I am learning the no matter what type of characters she writes about they are all well written and given such a life that they are believable. I will give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
