"I read this years ago and still think about it. It’s one of those books that changed my perspective. It was raw and honest.Different than the movie, but still just as great. "

"This was a very quick and enjoyable read. I feel the author did a good job with narrating in a teenage boy's voice compared to some that I have read. The distubing thing about this book is the complete incompetence of Sutter and Aimee's parents, but since there are parents out there like that, I feel it was fairly realistic as to what can happen when a child has no parental guidance."

"It's surprisingly sad YA book...you wish had happy ending. #romance #drama "

"I always respect an author that can resist the urge to wrap up every conflict and is brave enough to leave his audience totally unsatisfied (but in the best way)."
