I adored this book-what an unexpected, fabulous surprise! Great characters, fun conflicts, and fabulous life lessons in this adorable, engaging, coming-of-age story. Great for middle schoolers who love realistic fiction.

i usually don't read romance but i love the movie and this was just too cute.

This was definitely a cute book. It’s about these two kids who live across the street from each other, and about growing up. There are two points of view from Bryce who moved to the neighborhood when he was 7 and from Juli who had a crush on him. They go through some of the same events and it’s interested to see their different perceptions of what happened and how they felt. It’s a feel good story about growing up and I definitely want to watch the movie now.

Nice book and the film is cute!!
