I didn't think I was in the mood for this, but I was VERY wrong. I could BARELY put it down. It is so fun, so angsty, funny, swoony (is that a word?). Some things I saw coming, others were a complete surprise. I love being able to be surprised!

I wish this was a series so that I could look forward to more and more. Alas.

Love, love, love. ...more

Is there anything Rainbow Rowell can't do? (Short answer: No. No, there is not.)

Simon Snow is the chosen one. But, in his roommate/nemesis Baz's opinion, he's the worst chosen one to ever have been chosen. ...more

If this book had not been a little slow at the beginning, I'd have given it a 5, but Rowell spent a little too much time on Simon's obsession over why Baz was missing from school. The book gets a lot better once Baz shows up. ...more
