Loved it!!! Even though I'm too old for the age range of this book, I still classify it as one of my favourite books of all time. I first read it in the grade 5, then again in grade 6, and now again at age 23. The author perfectly captures what it feels like to become completely infatuated with someone else and not have your feelings reciprocated. This book holds a special place in my heart and I will always recommend it to others no matter how old they are.
This coming-of-age story is quite cute and touches on topics I think are quite important in our society to be aware of the ways we view them (struggling marital relationships, parenting, disabilities, etc.). The only complaint I have, reading this in 2021, is that some of the language is dated and can be considered as problematic (i.e. the tanning comment from Shelly that made her "like, black").

honestly this is my comfort read of puppy love since middle school
I loved the movie, but didn’t exactly enjoy the book as much, just my preference.
I had mixed feelings about bryce during the whole book, but he redeemed himself towards the end.
it was an enjoyable coming of age book though.

One of the only books I have read that switches perspective. It was nicely done and I enjoyed reading it.

This book is so cute, I just wish it had a more conclusive ending

If you just want to just read and relax, this is the perfect book for you. I actually read this when I got sick last week and it's totally worth it. :)
This was a cute, sweet, amazing book. The message of seeing someone for who they truly are is beautiful, and wonderfully done. Highly recommend!
