1: Laura Peyton Roberts is a genius
Clearwater Crossings is the best series that I have ever read. She writes as if she is a teenager going through these problems. I read the books since I was in 6th grade and I cant get enough. And I just learned that #20 is the last book of the series. I couldn't belive it. I read the books one after another. If you are a teenager looking for a good book, read this series. The books are unbeliveable.

2: I Can Not Bear the Thought...
I loved number 19. But it saddens me to death that #20 will be the last book of this amazing seires. I have read every single one more that a hundred times and I feel that I know the charecters from Clearwater Crossing. But...it hurts so much to see it go... I have cried with charecters in the books and I have laughed. I have introduced friends to the amazing people from the small town in Missouri. I can not stand the fact that all of that will be gone just like that. I respect Laura Peyton Roberts decsion to stop the seires but with so many things a new that are happening...and I guess I dont understand how it all can stop so suddenly. Mrs. Roberts thank you for introducing me to the best books I have ever known. I appreciate it so much, and I feel that it really has changed my life for the greater.

3: you have to read this book!
Okay, I've been following this series since the very beginning, and I love every single word. "Now and Always" isn't too shabby, either. It tells the story of Jenna's pushiness in regards to her sister's wedding, Ben's struggle to keep his nerdy identity a secret, a moral decision Leah and Miguel have to make, and Melanie's interest in her new art teacher. I felt a little that the whole thing with Melanie was just thrown in as a filler, as if she just had to have something to do. But the best part of the book is Nicole's revelations about why she really wanted to lose all the weight and what she really wanted. I could really related to her in a lot of ways, especially the way she feels in the last couple chapters. This is the second to last in the series, so enjoy this book to its fullest.

4: For all you hopeful Clearwater Crossing Fans
Ok, like me, I know some of you come on this website looking for reviews to say if a book is good or bad. And isn't it just a pain in the butt when there are absolutely no good reviews? I mean, they don't tell you ANYTHING about what the book is about. So, I decided I should (Thank me later, LOL!). Ok, let me start by saying this was a great book. There are many storylines, as usual. Let's start with Jennas. As some of you may know, Jennas sister, Caitlin, is getting married to Peter's brother, David. Jenna wants Caitlin's day to be perfect, but goes WAY overboard with her wedding plans. She doesn't even listen to Caitlin's ideas. How will it turn out? Will Caitlin get fed up and tell Jenna off? Or will she just go along with Jenna's plans? Sorry, but if I told ya, then it'd be pointless to buy the book. Another storyline is Miguel and Leah, told from Leah's point of view. Leah's parents go antique shopping thru Arkansas and Tennesee for 2 weeks. Leah thinks this is the perfect oppurtunity for her to be ALL ALONE with Miguel. Only Miguel doesn't think the same way. This is all Leah talks about through her point of view, and finally, Miguel gives in. I think you know what they were about to do. But Leah brings up a past fight, and Miguel gets mad and leaves. They make up, and Leah decides, she's not ready for sex. Two other quick storylines: Bens and Melanies. In Melanies, all it is really is that her father is getting back on his feet, and Melanie gets a new art tutor, Dan. She feel uncomfortable with this cute 25 year old though, and in the end, her dad replaces him. In Ben's, his mom joins the weight loss clinic where Ben's new girlfriend, Bernie works. Ben panics! He doesn't want to ruin Bernies idea of the COOL BEN by her seeing his mom. Well, he realizes that Bernie isn't quite so cool either, and in the end, they make up. Don't worry, I left a few surprises for you. But isn't that better than some of the stinky reviews? Yeah. It is. Gotta fly now. Later.

5: It was great, but...
As ususal, I couldn't put this book down, but...it's the second last in the series! I couldn't believe it when I found that out.
Anyway, the book was fabulous, as always. Caitlin & David are getting married (and Jenna and Peter are going to be in-laws!), Leah and Miguel make an important decision, and Ben has to keep his family a secret from Bernie. A great book, as always. Read it--you won't regret it.
