I liked this one a lot...The way Tina was written into the story was clever. One of the better ones.

I don't remember much of this novel outside of Chrissi but I adore Sam's interactions with her and it is one of my favorites.
In fact I had recently ordered it from Amazon as the first time I read it I had borrowed it from my best friend. As I am about to crack it open about ten minutes ago to begin re-reading it I spot something; this copy seems to have been signed by the author.

I can't make out what it says other than 'I have enclosed a copy' and 'I will always remember'. I've never been good at reading cursive which is a little strange since I grew up with an aunt and grandmother who both have messy cursive somewhat like this. XP
I wonder if the seller had forgotten about this?
