For such a simple story line, this book drew me in right way. Girl meets boy, girl falls in love with boy, and boy pretends she’s nothing until he gets to his last nerve and it breaks and he needs her. Although I was pretty sure where it was going, and there wasn’t much of a plot, I was addicted to reading it. It took me about three days (the pages took a long time to load, or I would have read it in one sitting.) and it killed me to stop.
The characters were like real people—because they weren’t perfect. Conrad was bitter and selfish, Jeremiah was immature, and Belly (cool name) lied to herself and made some poor choices. The adults, too, had their “fatal flaws.” But when you put real people into real situations (divorce, cancer, jealousy) you get a real story—and one worth reading.
I adored this book. I will probably buy it when it comes out so I can read it over again. It belongs on my bookshelf.
Until next time,
