I finished this in less than 24 hours. Painfully relevant and necessary, but a fantastic read. I would recommend to anyone.

The ending is so sudden and it destroyed me. The entire book was so lovely and i felt so giddy and light, and then BOOM ... Absolute heartbreak.
I am so glad I picked this one up.

I want to tell you the ending so badly, but I won't. I don't like romance books, even though this is a book about a girl meeting a boy, it is so much more than that. Short and sweet, I feel like the characters are people I knew, the book is so well written.
Amazing book. Even though this was written decades ago, this book felt as if Woodson write it yesterday. Highly recommend this quick read to learn about love at first sight and better understand people and division.
A simply told story about two young people's love for one another, and their emerging awareness about how the world perceives them and treats them. Its depiction of their love is beautiful; its portrayal of the racism they confront is unnervingly familiar.
I enjoyed the story and the characters, but there just wasn’t enough development for me. I never felt like I knew the characters. I think this novel could have been so much more.
Really wasn't a fan of the super insta-lovey plot... the romance was the main plot driver rather than the characters themselves
