I bawled my eyes out at the end of this book. So beautifully written. Loved it. I planned to read the rest of the series but I don’t know how I will recover.

This book was so good, I'm still thinking about it. I cried when I finished it, and it touched me in ways I never knew a book could. I can't recommend it to enough people.

Though somewhat predictable and uneven in parts this was a very touching book. This book takes a unimaginable, uncomfortable subject and turns into a moving, heartfelt love story. Not your typical romance but a beautiful story about what love really is, loving someone more than yourself and putting their happiness ahead of your own even as your heart is breaking. I knew when I started that I wasn't going to love the ending and while I was right I was also wrong. The ending was as lovely as it was sad and even though i bawled like a infant, I knew it couldn't have ended any other way. If you need a good cry but also lots of smiles this is a great easy read.

It was a 'stay up really late reading and suffer for it the next day' kind of book. I was a pool of tears at 3 am.

okay i would give it more like 2.5 stars, this book just didn’t do it for me. it started off slow and kept getting slower and slower. the LAST 50 pages were amazing i felt like it was finally telling a story, the epilogue was so sweet i wish the whole book was more like that!

Very enjoyable. Controversial issue and I think both sides were represented fairly. Fun characters.

Loved it - can't say much else, apart from I want to re-read it and have recommended it to those I know haven't yet read it. I had held off on reading this purposely because so many people were reading it - I don't do fads very well, but I came across a copy in my local Oxfam, had just finished college (decided not to continue the year due to many reasons) and thought "why not, it's only £1."
The moment I picked it up and started reading I knew that this wasn't going to be the traditional boy meets girl, they fall in love and it ends up happily ever after for them both. The plight of Will and the slow but steady development of 'Clark' just made my heart tear a little bit with each page turn closer to the end. It was clear (to everyone but Lou) what was going to happen but that did not stop the tears.
