"It was hard to be happy on an expiration date."

"Can I be rude?' Cade considered this. 'Probably."

Last but not least, I did not like how the synopsis basically tells the entire story. Yeah it tells the small things, but in the story that's really it. There's no huge climax event and there's no OMG moments in the middle. It's basically cut and dry. But then again, that's basically how the real story was.Which is the main reason my rating isn't higher. But even still, I did enjoy it."Do you even know what a phone is?' 'Yes. It plays music in your bag and then you cuss until it stops. Then you hold it in front of your face and talk to yourself."

Although there were somethings that were wrong with this re-telling, there were still some things I enjoyed as well."He suffered, and she suffered, and there was nothing anyone could do to fix it.."
