I remember someone had left this on my desk with no note. I didn't read
it right away until I knew the movie was coming out and then I wanted to
read it before I saw the movie. I really liked this book and remember several
things from the story. It had so many aspects to it where I was laughing so loud
at one moment and then crying so hard I couldn't see what I was reading. I know
this book was so hyped up at first but I feel the beautiful writing lived up to that hype.
I don't think it deserved the hate that some reviewers gave it. You just needed to immerse yourself in the story and take it all for what it was. The subject was sad, but I know most people knew what was happening in the book and what could
happen at the end. This is one of those books that you should read once but may not ever read again. I still feel like it was worth my time reading and will stay around for many years to come as a "must-read" book.
