Everyone in this book is extremely insufferable.

I enjoyed the beginning of the book, before it devolved into some kind of soap opera.

I'm begging Avril Cyril to have a single, interesting thought about something other than being gay or sex.

I loved this book so much. It was such a perfect combination of sweet and sad and funny. Yes, there were a lot of crazy coincidences, but I loved the characters so much that it didn’t bother me. It was a beautiful story.
