Review: Great book. - I honestly think its a great book worth reading to pass time. People can relate to this well when it comes to high school, and relationships (especially with a popular boy). A great message is passed through this, however I think there could have been a bit more excitement added on to it, even though its quite amazing. I wont say its the best book ive read cause I did not get emotional whilst reading it, but I do recommend it, and is a great author. Review: Waited ages for this and I was not disappointed - I was a huge fan of 'All the Bright Places' and naturally I had to pre-order this book when I saw it. I wasn't expecting it to be as good as all the bright places but I was pleasantly proved wrong. This book is heartwarming and realistic in the best ways possible. The characters are far from perfect and that makes them so completely relatable. This book was so good that I devoured it within a few hours. There is so much more that I could say about the writing techniques and the way that you begin to root for the characters, but it would never compare to the reality. The best thing to do is read the book for yourself and fall in love with the characters yourself.
