Wow! Just wow! What a great book! I was not sure if I would find this book boring but it was filled with surprising twists. Loved it!

I looked up to Dante, the main character, the most. When he finds out he has a daughter, Emma he is stunned - and scared! He is only seventeen and at the start of the book does not know what to do with Emma. What should he do? I admire Dante for sticking by Emma, even though he is young and does not have a clue about how to be a father. But as he starts to bond with Emma he is rewarded with experiences he will never forget.

I think this book would go under family relationships because of how family love plays an important role in this novel. I do recommend this to older readers and I think you know why, but I really hope you will read this because it is a great read!

I want to mention how much I love the cover of this book. The casual boy clothes with the bottle and the dummy, great idea!
