I finished this a few minutes ago. I haven't given myself time to gather coherent thoughts, but I did like it very much. It was painful and honest. The incomparable beauty of Albuquerque, New Mexico's sunsets even made an appearance! Sutter is an unreliable and largely unlikeable narrator. He's se...
Perhaps I am too old for this, but I was bored and annoyed with Sutter's laissez-faire, dude-bro approach to life. Even for a teenager, he was incredibly immature and self-centered, and his annoying, self-victimization, "woe is me, no one will ever truly love me" got old, very fast. If I had to pick...
I don't understand why a lot of people dislike the ending. For me, it made everything a lot more realistic. Everyone should get it nailed to their heads that sometimes the worst part is the best part.
I abandoned this book. I just cant do it. I cant read this book. Or at least I wont. Because Sutter is objective and sexist and his what-ev personality just annoys the heck outta me.

So, my girlfriend, Cassidy, is threatening to kick me to the curb again, my best friend suddenly wants to put the brakes on our lives of fabulous fun, my mom and big sister are plotting a future in which I turn into an ...
It’s so difficult for me to rate and review books like this. It totally took me by surprised, it totally disturbed my equilibrium. Tim Tharp has managed to coax out of me the most difficult of emotions, and I am at a loss for words.WARNING: There may be spoilers, so watch out.Sutter Keely. At first ...
I'd have never picked up this novel in a million years if it weren't for the fact that the screen writers of "500 Days of Summer" wrote the screenplay for the movie version of this novel. And Shailene Woodley, of course. It seems a little shallow to admit that, but it's the truth. I'm not a fan of C...
