This book made me happy, then mad, then happy again, mad again, happy again, mad again, then sad, then happy again, sad again, mad again and then satisfied.
It was witty, heartbreaking and so damned well-written! The characters were well fleshed out, and at times it felt like they were real people in my life. The audiobook performances were also fantastic, and I’m sure played a big part in why I loved it so much.
Whenever I wasn’t reading this book I was wishing for the time when I could return to it again.
I totally get the hype it has gotten and can say that it is certainly deserved. I can’t wait to see how the film adaptation turns out, but I think it’s going to be really hard to beat this.
