Sweethearts by Sara Zarr is about a girl named Jennifer Harris. Jennifer has never fit in anywhere, and always relied on her best friend, Cameron Quick to get her through things. But after he "passes away", she is completely lost. Most of her memories were with Cameron, and they now have become a part of her. But she can't seem to remember a lot of things about him, because she feels like her memories have gone with him. But even after Jennifer, aka, Jenna Vaughn, grows up, she still finds herself thinking about Cameron. She has a boyfriend, friends, what else could she ask for?
This book was really intense for me. The compassion and devotion Jenna has toward Cameron really amazes me. Even many years after not seeing him, she still thinks of him as her best friend, and cant let go of him. I find it so amazing that Jenna remains to stay devoted to Cameron, and never forget about him. It's sad when someone passes, and you just forget about them.
It also taught me about the impact you can have on someones life. If you do something nice, or are always there for someone, they'll always remember you. It won't matter what you looked like, but what you did and the difference you made in their life. Being there for someone can change someone. Especially if they don't have any friends, just a smile will make their day. So think before you do something, because they'll remember it forever.
