Oh, how I tried not to cry as I read Abby's and Sage's heartbreaking stories and what they went through, but I couldn't! I enjoyed this story so much, but I can't wait to read CeCe's Sage's BFF!!

This was a G-rated vanilla story. No real conflict or drama. It could have been a wonderful story... I liked the premise but not the execution.
