Fallen Over Book Reviews
Fallen Over Book Reviews rated it 9 years ago
We received this book to give an honest review. Oh A and I had a blast reading this book to the point of every time I would say "Land on my Knees" A would want to say it instead of me.

I don't really know what to say about this one. It was kind of weird. I just couldn't identify with this old lady at all.
