This was sooooo good! Not even it was GREAT! I did not expect to like this book as much as I did. I read it in a day. I couldn't help but think about special someone when reading this. I love how the author portrayed Annika (the autism rep). We really got to see great insight into her head and I love learning about it. I love between Johnathan and Annika had me on an emotional roller-coaster. I teared up so much while reading this book. Also, I feel like the author did a great job in incorporating the tragedy of 9/11 into the story without just using it as a mere plot device for dramatic affect. I haven't seen many authors deliver on that correctly. I would definitely recommend it, but please be prepared to cry.
