 “All these years, they’ve been like two little plants sharing the same plot of soil, growing around one another, contorting to make room, taking certain unlikely positions.” 

I didn't really like it. Two highly insecure teenagers confessing their love for one another throughout the whole book but not really doing anything about their relationship feels pointless to read. But I guess that's the point. I think I'm like that, too. 

However, I've heard people sing praises about this book but I did not see what's to love, honestly.
