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.

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.
