It took me about ten days to read this book because life kept getting in the way of my reading.

It was worth feeling tired and a little cranky so I could finally finish this book.

I have to admit, I did not cry. My eye's did tend to water up. I felt the love in this book. I truly wish they make this into a movie. I'll have tears for that.

Green writes first person from the perspective of a teenage girl with the proficiency of...well, a teenage girl. The story is intriguing, heart-wrenching and nothing like I expected. Well done, Mr. Green.
I am prepared to cry.
This book crushed my soul.
ACTUAL RATING: 3.5 stars
