I am going to SLAM my review. Not really sure if I SLAMMED it correctly, to be honest. Before I do, I need say this- this book deserves an endless number of stars!
I fell in love with a book by an author
Who wrote the most beautifully compelling story
I think I have ever read
For real
A story of two people struggling to climb a mountain of quicksand
With nothing to grab onto but each others hand
A story of a heart shattering love
And life's winding roads
But instead of balling up and crying
They're fighting it with a vengeance
I read a remarkable story
That evoked so many different emotions from me
Some that were felt at the same time
Which wasn't fun
I was lost in the lives of these fictional characters
That I so desperately wanted to be real
I read a story about a girl
A beautiful girl with a big heart
A girl who was forced to move to a new town
And bare the beating of stones life threw at her
Some stones left gashes and scars
And others that just faded away
But there was one stone that left a mark
By a boy
Who she fell madly and deeply in love with
A boy who had the world on top of his shoulders
With responsibilities most could not fathom to comprehend
A jerk of a boy
A hot boy
Who also fell madly and deeply in love with a girl
Who he refused to make time for
A girl he loved from the moment he laid eyes on
But painfully was forbidden to be with
Emotions are laid bare
For all to see
A new life
A big change
And a life that will soon sadly be free
Knowing they would be there to wipe away each others' tears
But the pain felt inside could only be repaired
By a boy
And a girl
Who fell madly deeply in love with each other
But could never be
How do you fight the attraction
The intense chemistry that you feel
When so much is at stake
Of a love that was slammed
Before it could even took place
Colleen Hoover you rocked my socks
And made me cry
And made me feel
Too many different
Things inside
There are things I have ignored
For long periods of time
And things I chose to
Face one quick step at a time
Why it is that reading can make us see
The things we chose not to
When faced with reality
It's just words on paper that
Should mean nothing
But in fact they mean everything
Hundreds of paper bound by glue
Of a story that flew me over the moon
This is a book that I will never forget
Or ever find the proper words
To say how much it means to me
But
THANK YOU

I loved this book - beautiful story. Did raise a few moral issues with me however. On occassions I did want to scream at the characters as I struggled to accept their behaviour! Point of retreat is even better in my opinion. Enjoy!
Ahhh shit, you guys are making me nervous. I know nothing about this book. Does someone die? Am I going to cry? Give me something!
Dead parets. Student/teacher 'relationship', very ya. Kinda cute book, very hot hero though...annoying heroine. Hope you'll like it better then i. I Don't really see what all the fuzz is about :(
There is a lead up to a death but it is handled well by the author. I wouldn't have read it if I knew in advance about the teacher/pupil thing as that makes me feel very uncomfortable considering my own profession but I must admit it was a fantastic read and will leave you feeling happy at the end. Enjoy
I sobbed the most in these two books than I have ever have in any other (except pushing the limits, I was depressed after that)Read this and the next one back-to-back

I can't even form the words for a review on this one. I read this and Point of Retreat back to back. I AM A MESS!I have a review I want to do...I just need to learn to do it the right way...:)
it's so beautifully written. It's actually one of my favorite books this year. It is a sad story but you just can't help reading it. I loved all the poetry it had, it was so full of emotions. Read the 2nd one!! it's just as good.

And you're right, it's written beautifully with tons of emotions and an extremely realistic storyline. I don't think I've ever experienced emotions like this until now...or at least a mixture of them at the same time. Gah...

Well look at you and your SLAM DUNK of a review! Awesome but still hesitant on reading it. You know me, I'd be a mess.
Tarryn, I am speechless!!! This is a SPECTACULAR review!! Gosh, how long did this take you... what pure talent!!!
