Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano
5.0
Wow, that a book. I can't believe I waited this long to get around to, and I don't even really know why. I can tell you that I immediately want to pick up Dear, Edward that has also been on my shelf for way too long for no good reason. Hello Beautiful was heartbreaking, beautiful and so deep on so many levels.
It has been a really long time since I've despised a character (or two) as much as I did in this book. However - this is a case where that anger and frustration added to the book instead of took away from it. The unlikeable characters added to the story and explained why and who they are, and explained so much of the story on its own. These characters were so easy to connect with and get absorbed right into their lives, it makes you feel like you personally know them.
