Such a great read! Really loved Maya as a character. And A.J. despite being cold/abrasive, he really is lovable. I was NOT expecting the twist before part 2. No spice, so if you want to read a well rounded literary fiction, I would highly suggest this book. Looking forward to watching the film adaptation to see how it holds up to the book.
