review 1: Just like what I've tweeted, this book made me want to live in a farm and tend to animals, sip good coffee and read books. This is an easy-read book. It'll make you realize the potentials of living in a farm, to be one of the farmers, to actually be a farmer at the age of 16. (I hope I got the age right) How I wanna try pick apples and persimmons and eat it right there - US setting of course. :)
review 2: All you Get is Me by Yvonne Prinz is about Roar, 15 year old newly hatched farm girl who is struggling with living on the farm, her friend Storm's craziness, her secret relationship with Forest, which her father would not approve of, acceptance about her mother's problems, and the lawsuit her dad is stirring up for the death of an illegal Mexican worker.

I know, I know, "when it's with that special person..." yada yada. I don't think it's appropriate for any teenager, fictitious or real, to say "I love you" to each other "that way" (Whatever that means) Even if they aren't throwing it around, you still shouldn't be saying it like that. (Family and best friends don't really count. There is differences in "I love you" less
