The fact that it deals with having to make a choice that will change your life drasticly has alot to teach us. I for one felt that way when I was quitting swimming. Dannielle was never one of my favorites.But this book is good. And if some of you people think Im repeating my self well im not. The whole series is excellent and worth reading.
