Normally I like to tear through the books I read, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it with this one. I read it slowly, which I thought at first meant I didn’t love it as much as I expected to, but that wasn’t right. 
It was beautiful and, though long, nothing felt unnecessary. 
I laughed and I cried; I kicked my feet giggling at the sweet spots and blushed over the spicy ones. 
Piper and Leo were such well developed characters and I loved the attention that was paid to all of their relationships in life, not just with each other.

I love this book so much. Piper, Leo, and their friends and family are like real people to me. Katie has a talent for being succinctly descriptive - there’s not paragraphs of exposition to get a simple point across. That leaves her a lot of room to build character depth and make things feel vividly real. Being a clumsy girl myself, I immediately connected with Piper. Her banter with Leo is hilarious and only gets better as the story progresses.
