I absolutely loved this book. It was literally the definition of a book you can’t put down and I definitely couldn’t stop crying and laughing and smiling the whole book there was times it was so tense I had to take a minute before reading more but I needed to know more I couldn’t stop reading this and I would definitely recommend it to anyone

I love books with dual point of views and the concept and summary seemed right up my alley. With that being said, I did not like this book. The characters were flat, there was nothing passed their CF, nothing passed 

stella's parents divorce

 
We're told so abruptly about everyone's lives. Everything that moves the "plot" is done through dialoged. Speaking of plot, there isn't much of one. Of course once Will and Stella meet there is something, other than that- I don't know what I'm supposed to be rooting for. If I had read this when I was 15, I'd see the romance so maybe I'm not the target audience. It wasn't the worst book I've ever read, I didn't DNF it but I wish it lived up to all the hype around it.

Read before you watch the film, both are great - but the book is more raw and emotional before you watch the film
