Would probably give this three stars but I read it at the beach in less than 24 hours. So there's that. ...more

There's not much to dislike about Rainbow Rowell's books, other than the fact that I want to read them in one sitting and rarely have enough time to do that. Even though I couldn't read this book in one sitting, I did read it in a little over twelve hours.
