GUYS. You didn't warn me about the feels. I WAS NOT PREPARED.
What I absolutely loved about this book (apart from it being completely adorable in every way) was how perfectly Rowell gets the teenager thing. Nobody will understand me. I'm too weird. I'm too skinny. I'm not skinny enough. I'm too clever. And so on, endlessly worrying about not being the right thing, or being the wrong thing.

I really like Rainbow Rowell's stories-this is the second I have read. I love the way she describes things and the dialogue between the characters makes me laugh and makes me think "aw, how sweet".

OMG!!! What an amazing young adult book! But seriously, that ending. Can we please get a book two??
I loved this book! There is a lot of swearing, but it goes along with the subplot of Eleanor being bullied. All of the characters are really developed, even the very minor ones, which is so fun. I loved how she described Park's parents. The author really captures being a teenager in love, and I actually loved what she did with the ending, which was unexpected. Love love love!

Ugh. How could it just end like that?? I feel so lost now.. No closure whatsoever. This was such a sweet book. The writing was superb. I will definitely read more by this author. I just wish there was a more detailed ending. Or at least an epilogue.
SO engaging and sweet. I lapped it up and was very tense near end. The ending however is pitch perfect. If only all relationships could end and begin in such a manner.
An excellent read, well worth more than the $2 I paid for it.
