1. I have just started my book as you can see. My book started out with Anna celebrating her birthday with her best friend Frankie and Frankie's brother Matt who is also Anna's best guy friend. Anna is eating her cake when Matt comes up from behind her and shoves cake in her face which ends up in a cake brawl. Anna only wish for her birthday is to get kissed by Matt. Matt and Anna then go into the kitchen after there brawl to wash off when Matt kisses her and begins a relationship with Anna. They have this go on for a while sneaking out together and acting like nothing is different even though they are sneaking kisses when no one is looking and hanging out at night together. Neither Matt nor Anna want to tell Frankie because they are all so close that they don't want to ruin there relationship together. Matt decides he will tell Frankie on there annual California trip so it has time to sink in before she see Anna again. The day before the trip all three of them were heading home from getting ice cream when Anna's ice cream splashes on the windshield and makes Matt swerve out of control and crash. They were all rushed to the hospital with great news that Anna and Frankie lived but Matt died because he had a heart problem that was unnoticed before and so his heart couldn't take it.

2. I love this book because it got me hooked right from the beginning and it is the type of book I love to read. This book is very girl appealing and would be perfect for any girl and I can't wait to continue reading it!

3. The major theme I see in this book is friendship between Matt, Anna and Frankie which sort of got ruined when Matt died but Frankie and Anna are still lasting.

4. My favorite character is Matt because he seemed like such a big brother figure to Anna and then seemed like a really cool boyfriend to have. Also he was so loving to Frankie when he decided not to tell until he was comfortable and decided to take it into his control to tell her to not hurt her feelings.

5. My least favorite character is Frankie because after a year of grieving over her brothers death she is getting over it but hasn't really noticed that her friend is still sad and isn't comforting her.

6. I think since Matt never got to tell Frankie that him and Anna were going out that Anna will tell Frankie in California when they go alone and Frankie will get really mad that she kept it from her for a year.
