1.)  Right now in my book Amazing Grace, the main character Grace (Ace) just met a boy named Teague. He lives in Alaska as well as Grace who has a new name which is Emily O'Brien. So she gets into a bike accident and this dream boy comes to her rescue. So Teague brings Emily into town to a restaurant, and Emily meets his aunt Sadie. Emily has a terrible cut across her forehead, so Sadie cleans up Emily's scratch and puts a bandaid on it. Then a girl named Fisher who is a total country girl walks into the restaurant and Emily thinks that Teague has a girlfriend but it turns out that Fisher is actually his cousin. Then Fisher gets really interested in Emily and is very friendly and asks so many questions about her. By the end of their conversation about 45 minutes after they meet Fisher acts as though her and Emily have known each other forever and are best friends.

2.) This book so far I think is VERY good. It has so  much detail and is so different from other books that I have read I just feel as though I cannot put it down. I love this book. The way that Meagan Shull writes this story is just amazing. How each chapter flies by so quickly, and I could be reading for an hour and literally just get lost in time and in my book, it feels like I just picked up the book. I also just like how every character has a purpose in the story and how every character is different from one another. The story has meaning and there are no lines where I feel like it was not needed. This author is new to me and I think thaI i a going to look for more books by her, if any.

3.) A theme that really stands out for me in this book is love and sacrifice. I think that love and sacrifice begins very early in the book when Grace/ Emily decided that she did not want to be a model and professional athlete anymore. She sacrificed her career for he freedom and life back. Also when she said that she found out her dad dies and also how she had not hugged anyone she loved for months and how she had not seen her mom for months, she is showing sacrifice of her life and family and of her love of freedom and family. I also think that this theme shows when Grace/ Emily has to leave her mom for a second time and go with her aunt that she jut found out she had to Alaska and live with her for months on end without seeing her mom once again. I think that this theme is shown multiple times so far and that Grace/ Emily has to sacrifice many things in her life in order for her to feel normal, one of those thing being love for her family and career.

4.) My favorite character right now is Fisher. I really like her because she is so upbeat and friendly. Also she is so kind and does not care what other people think of her. She is great at making new friends and having people love her and want to be friends with her and want to know her. She just has this vibe that really makes you want to know her and it makes you want her to like you. For instance When she walks into the restaurant Grace/ Emily wanted her to like her once they started talked talking, and Fisher was so friendly and asked questions and loves everyone so it seemed.

5.) So far I don't really have a least favorite character, but if I were to pick anyone it might be Grace's/ Emily's mom because I feel as though she is so oblivious to her daughters feelings. Yea she understands that her daughter wants to quit her career and is understanding, but when her daughter needs her the most she is not there for her. She is never around, like when her daughter said she has not seen her mom in months and then has to leave her moms side again for another three months even though she wants nothing more than to be with her mom.

6.) I think that Ava's "ex-boyfriend" had a son which is Teague. That is why I think when Ava said she has known him for a long long time it was because she dated his dad. I think that Grace/ Emily is going to date Teague and then have to leave Alaska and go home but end up not wanting to because she is finally living her dream of having a normal life. I also think that she is going to end up having to tell Teague who she actually is , and that will either end up being really good or bad. Finally I think that Grace is going to end up staying in Alaska with her Aunt Ava and her mom is going to realize that she has not been there for her daughter when she needed her.
