Ok everyone if you are looking for a book that will keep you intrigued from beginning to the end this is it. I am not one to be emotional but this book had me laughing, crying,and excuse my languaged...pissed off and all. I just could not put this book down.

Ericka you are magnificent your insight on this was one of the best i have seen yet in any author. you deserve to be with the head writers sweetheart keep it up you have a loyal fan in me. i read this book in less than a day as well as your other book In Fear Of Losing You.

Good storyline....Just one flaw, April 6, 2007

This review is from: I am Your Sister (Paperback)

This was a good fast paced read...interesting storyline...good characters and many important messages throughout the book....Now while I did enjoy reading this story and if not for 1 thing I would have given it a 5 star rating but the flaws that I found were the amount off typos in the book.. that was something that really bothered me it just took away from a really good story...also the spanish used in the book was also incorrect in some instances.. I would have loved to have proofread the book before it was published..Aside from that, I would recommend this book..
