I started this book and was kind of upset because it didn't seem to be like many of her other novels. Simple acts like giving a dollar to someone in need or grabbing the collar of a dog, things that seem insignificant at the time, may just change your life. But her parents keep telling her the same thing: "When you're twelve." Well, that day has finally arrived and Rory is going to discover (through a series of long, painful and distorting events) that, even though all her wishes are about to come true, she has to learn that the road to getting what you want is not as rewarding as helping the people you meet along the way. Ever since Rory could talk, and understand that her parents are overprotective in every stretch of the means, she has wanted to be like every other kid her age. "Finally" is the story of Rory (girl-Rory, not to be confused with boy-Rory, which seems to happen a whole lot). Seeing as this is "11 Birthdays" companion novel, you will be entirely confused from about the fourth chapter until the end of the book. Firstly, if you have not yet read "11 Birthdays", don't even think of picking up this book.
