I was surprised at how much I loved this book. I loved it so much that I read it in less than 2 days. It may make you laugh, cry, angry and conflicted in the span of chapters. I felt all of those things. It also hit on some sensitive subjects in a tasteful way. It is a love story, but not an overly sappy one. I hope the movie stays true to that.

This book didn't really wow me. The ending felt kind of rushed (but... Not on purpose), and I felt like it could have done more. That said, I still enjoyed reading it.
