This story really touched me. The book jacket describes it best as "the story of two star crossed sixteen-year-olds-- smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try." Amazing imagery and details!

Too much language for juveniles, too juvenile for young adults. The ending wasn't good & could have been written better.
