You know how I know that this book is made of awesome? Because I was devastated by the ending (and I mean genuinely devastated. Like the way it felt to find out that my parents were lying liars who lie and that Santa was not going to slip down the chimney and stuff my stocking with toys made tiny elf hands.) and I still wanted to give it five stars.

There's so much that I could tell you about the plot but honestly, so many other reviewers have done that already and I think they've done a pretty b ...more

3.5 stars. I really enjoyed this book. Kami was a great character. I always like strong female protagonists. She is a lot of fun. From early childhood she is seen as eccentric at the least, crazy at worst. She talks to Jared about everything. The only problem, he is only in her head. Jared is seen in the same way for talking to Kami in his head. Then one day, the two run into each other in an elevator. Jared has just moved to Kami's little town of Sorry-in-the-Vale. Their first real encounter is ...more
