Nicole was Ashley's best friend all through High School. Nicole had a mother who didn't like Ashley at all. She thought that she was a bad influence on her daughter. Her mother felt like this because Ashley was always the star in the school plays and did really well in school, which her daughter did not like to participate in.

10. The reader, Betsy's Opinion on My Lost and Found Life
I thought that this book was very well written. I thought that there were many really good parts in this book. I also thought that in some parts the writer went to much into depth. One of these parts was when Ashley would go into work at the coffee shop, and there would a whole chapter on it. While in some parts, one including when the police found her mother I thought that the author should have gone more in depth. I thought that overall was a very well written book.
