4.0

If you’ve seen the movie, it follows the book pretty closely. It’s romantic and sad. I don’t recommend reading if you’re not prepared to cry.  

There is a little more depth to Louisa’s character that I’m not quite sure how I feel about. On the one hand, I understand why they left it out of the movie. The story still makes sense without it. On the other, it does provide a little more understanding into why Lou is the way she is. Although, I do feel like there was something missing to the resolution of it, so I understand why some readers might feel it was totally unnecessary.


Other than that, it’s well-written, the characters are engaging, the plot line is captivating, real and tense.
So if you’re in the mood for a sad romance that doesn’t have a happy ending, this is the book for you.
