I don't remember the last time I read a book that has made me cry, even after finishing the last few pages.
At first, Jesse Aarons was not a well-liked character. I thought he was dull and small-minded until I kept on reading. Then did I understood why he was the way he was. I actually grew to like him in the end.
As for Leslie, I loved her imagination and the way she helped Jesse to slowly be himself without feeling shunned and an outcast.
I admired their friendship, even if it was short lived.
