Everyone can find something within this book to connect to. Whether it is Charlie, the anxiety ridden heroine with the big heart or Jesse, the broken bastard whose mood swings give you whiplash or one of the myriad side characters, there is something for everyone here. Both Charlie and Jesse are inherently flawed and scarred by life, completely relatable. No sugar coated characters here. Their story isn’t an easy one, but it is a real one. Can love really conquer all?
This book had me digging deep into my own soul, how I reacted to the book and exploring my own issues. It had me second guessing myself and my worldview, at least as it pertained to this book. I found it insightful and thought provoking. And I absolutely cannot recommend it enough. Everyone should read this book.
