As someone who read this entire book in one sitting when it first came out, I was intrigued by this graphic novel adaptation. I'm not really sure the story itself translates well into a graphic novel format, as there's a lot of internal monologues that happen in the prose version of this story. Something about Levithan's prose is also a little lost in this adaptation. 

There are some nice panels, but the art style wasn't particiularly my favorite. I wanted a little more detail in some of the people, I think. The colors were really nice, though! Especially in the scenes that were given a full page.

All in all, some mixed feelings about this adaptation. I'm not sure how they're picking YA novels to adapt, but they are definitely picking some interesting ones.

Beautiful story, heart wrenching and beautiful ending. I adored this love story and was sucked in the entire time.
