review with no spoilers.
I absolutely slandered this book. I did not have high hopes at all since I didn't really know what to expect from it. However, I enjoyed it with my whole heart and some of my tears. Some people called it predictable, though I found it to be hard wrenching when I heard what had actually happened.
I loved the characters of this book as well as the plot. Though I feel as though the people in this book really made the rich kid stereotype quite clear. Something that is a false stereotype, I think. Eitherway I did really felt a connection with me (the reader) and the characters. I especially loved Johnny with his witty expressions.
The writing style of this novel is great! Especially when you are new to English books and the language. though, I must admit, sometimes I had the feeling that the writer wanted it to be literary and poetic a bit too much. so much unnecessary sentences that didn't make any sense.
but even with that, it was a lovely book with a great turn of events.
a solid 4,75 stars from me!
