Really loved this book, just a sweet story. Very interesting to get to read the different perspectives of what was happening from 2 points of view.
That’s it? Seriously?
This story has such interesting characters, good storylines, and great potential as an overall idea. It was going in an alright direction. Yet it still fell so flat.
Now I understand why my friend said the movie was better than the book. Because I can see why this would be great as a movie, but God, it just simply wasn’t good (at all) as a book. It had way too many time jumps; instead of telling a full, ongoing story, each two chapters were about one specific significant scene. Like someone just thought “hey, this would be a cute scenario” but was too lazy to work out a whole story around it. And that ending?? If she had written a proper ending, if she had at least fleshed out that part, then sure, I could see past the emptiness of the previous 200 pages simply out of thrill for the actual romance confession. But leaving an already incomplete book unfinished just feels cheap. And if it was a stylistic choice, then it’s still just not my cup of tea, I guess.
Lots of potential, but not fleshed out enough.

Two sides of the same story seen through the eyes of a little girl and a little boy. What a great idea; it reminds each of us that what we see is only our perception of things, and that, from somebody else's perspective, things can be quite different (to say the least).
After the first few chapters, I was hoping that the story would go till adulthood for the two main characters. It stops when the reach teen age. If anybody knows a similar type of book with adults, please let me know.
