Read it in two sittings.. Started it on a sleepless night and finished it not even 24 hours later. I don't often get to read such easy books. Stories that practically read themselves to you. Always nice to find a new favourite. I related to all of the characters so much, and although I got a bit angry at them for making such stupid decisions, I still love them. This is the kind of book you annotate and gift to your favourite Tumblr mutual. I might do that, actually.
