If you're looking for a tear jerker. This the one. Have a box of tissues ready because this book will have you sobbing. It can be a bit cringey at times with all the cheesy lovey dovey sayings and what not, but that doesn’  negate over the fact of how emotional and heartwarming this book was. Almost every one in the book is a likeable character and the book just showcases pure innocent young love. It's very wholesome and quite idealistic. It was a nice read.

I give it a 4.25 just because I read this book because I was told I was going to cry, and I did not. But I could see how this book would make someone emotional. Other than that, I really do like it! It’s more of a love story than a romance story, and when you start reading it you’ll know what I mean. Another reason it didn’t get five stars was because the chapters were so long. I’m a fast reader and it took me like 20-30 minutes each chapter! But other than that i enjoyed it.
