Where do I start with this book. From the beginning I cried, at the end I cried and even laughed in between. This book is not a ugly cry by any means. The book is written so well that Imy captures you immediately. I loved how the story flowed., it wasn’t your typical boy meets girl and fall in love. This book they both had to work at it, giving it the realistic feel.
