In this story, Emily Keane starts out as a person who thinks she's going to get everything she ever planned for. When things don't go as planned, her personality forces her into depression. An opportunity arises and she decides to Carpe Diem. Through her adventures she becomes a better person and overcomes her fears.I've come to expect this from Riley J. Ford. She is a master at teaching her readers the old saying, "don't judge a book by its cover." When I say that, I'm talking about her characters. They are very well thought out and developed. Each character has their secrets and their exterior doesn't let on to who they really are on the inside.The story flows nicely, the writing is great, the characters are people I can relate to and all-in-all I would recommend this book to anyone.I wish this book would have been around when I was in high school. I would have given it to a friend of mine whose name also happened to be Emily. I'm not being overdramatic when I say a book like this could have saved her life. Depression is a horroble thing that takes so many people away from us, but this story gives hope. Anyone feeling depressed should read this, and even if you aren't you should still read it.
