Colt and Julia were secretly together for a year, and no one ever knew, not even Julia's boyfriend. Why would they-they were from two different crowds. Julia lived in her country club world and Colt . . . didn't. Then Julia dies in a car accident. Colt is devastated but can't mourn openly, and he's tormented that he may have played a part in her death. And when Julia's journal ends up in his hands, he is forced to relive their year together-just when he is trying to forget. The problem is, how do you get over someone who was never really yours to begin with?

The fact that it's told through first person, and it's a young man Colt, who is telling his story, the fact t...
Colt was with julia for a year, but nobody else knew about it. Julia lived on Black Mountain Road in a mansion with servents and had a country club boyfriend to compleat the package. Colt definitely didn't come from Black Mountain, and no one would have understood why they were togeather. But it nev...
Alrighty... This book reminded me a bit of [b:Looking for Alaska|99561|Looking for Alaska|John Green|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41DW9GX92PL._SL75_.jpg|919292] by John Green, but I think it fell quite a bit short of the standard that Alaska set. I couldn't really connect with or care about...
