This book was amazing. It was completely different from everything else I've been reading, and it was exactly what I needed. I was a little hesitant going into it, because of the school shooting... I was worried that the book was going to spend a lot of time on that subject and the events. And while...

In book time, that took me forever.This was yet another book that could be broken up in thirds.

What wasn't so great was the relationship part. It...
