At school most of kids treat her differently than before. Before she felt kids would depend on her and now things have changed. She tried to pay the money back from babysitting and taking care of the woman with Alzheimer's disease who run over Cheddar....

After everybody finds out the truth everybody went back to its place and happily ever after….

Christian Perspective
This book was not written in a Christian perspective. Because if this story was a Christian perspective Kat would of make things differently by praying. She should have prayed during the school hour instead of worrying about her dog Cheddar and she should have believed that God can do anything with her faith.

My thoughts
I was pleased with the book because it was always “what is going to happen next" and "what is she going to do after?"One part I did not like about the book was when the Ending was so common and as usual than I thought. I was expecting more of sad ending or even a unique ending. I recommend this book to anyone who likes modern books.

  1. Great book review Victoria!I like how you mentioned that if the main character Kat would have had a Christian perspective, she would have prayed about her dog instead of worrying about the situation and acting irrationally.
