It made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me roll my eyes. This has to be to the easiest book I've ever read. The writing was so seamless that I finished it in two sittings. This is a love story, and the secrets discovered are of Ari's universe. However, what really made me love the book was how in-tune I felt with Ari's character. We share things like not completely understanding our parents, too afraid to ask questions, too afraid to know the answers. I remember feeling synonymous to a bucket of anger that was overflowing at times. And I also like to be alone. More than anything, I have to say that I appreciated this book for its frankness and courage in not shying away from topics that a lot of other books for young adults just tend to gloss over.
