5.0

You feel as if you've known the characters all your life. This book is dangerously too relatable if you have ever felt heartbreak for someone you never dated in the first place. Weirdly though, I think it also reaches the root of modern love: to be there for each other, always, even if not in the ways you'd expect. I can't stop recommending this book to people. They may be frustrated with the characters' behavior, but they have never once been disappointed.
