See You At Harry's by Jo Knowles

     See You At Harry's is a book worth reading. The books seemed to start out slow, and like any other YA book I've read. I wasn't impressed. Wow, was I wrong. This book made me feel thousands of things that I didn't know I could feel. Halfway through the book, I was sobbing. I never stopped. The entire story was so heart-wrenching, but there was that small glimmer of hope that kept me smiling through my tears. I can relate to Fern, in the way she felt invisible sometimes to her family. I can't say too much about the book without spoilers, but I can say that it is about a 12 year old girl, Fern, going through life feeling something like a wallflower. A major tragedy occurs, and then there's the handsome Ran and the love-struck Cassie by her side. I loved every bit of this book, to the point where I wanted to reread it immediately upon finishing it.
