I rated this book five stars on December 20, 2013

Edit 2015/06/14: Re-read this and I just don't like it anymore. Two years ago it must be a lot easier for me to ignore the micro aggressive comments to Asian people and fat people. Now not so much. As an asian person myself, I find it extremely disturbing to read "exotic" as good. Plus a bunch of other stuff. Just...EW. ...more

I thought i'd like it a lot more but my problem was with Eleanor, i really disliked her character. Probably because she reminded me of someone who isn't my friend anymore.

5 STARS!

I just love this book so much, it's heartwarming and fun. I love the writing style. It made me tear up through some parts of the book. Overall, it's a very great book, highly recommended.

¡!SPOILERS AHEAD¡!

I agree with most reviews. This book is literally everything you could asked for. I giggled, gushed, screamed, and teared up. I did not thought I would like this because of the year it's set and two point of views, but the time is a minor thing and the two point of views is USE AMAZINGLY. My rate is 4.5 stars. I would have given it 5 stars, but the ending sucks like I know not everything is about princess and happy endings BUT STILL, WE ALL WANT THEM! I just love this book! ...more
