Got this in my recommendations. After flying through the reviews, I saw that I must be the only male ever considering reading that book. I did it anyway and wasn't disappointed. Only a few things damped it:

-A few scenes I just could't relate to as a male. (Like reading for the 3rd time how cute Henry is looking and so on)

-I thought the thing Taylor did those 5 summers ago was something so horrible, but wasn't really that much of a big deal in the end. (I mean the amount it gets hinted at, I even thought of bloody murder)

If you look past these minor things and considering that it must be pretty accurate for a female main protagonist, you get a powerful story about family and friends and what matters most in life.

All the characters were full of personality and charm, and I must admit that I maybe got some wet eyes at the end.

3 Stars are “liked it”. So yeah, even that I guess that I wasn't the main target audience...I liked it!
