The protagonists of this novel are Jess and Alex, and the whole story is told from their perspectives. Jess moves to London from Bournemouth to pursue her dream of working in publishing. I really liked Jess, I liked her personality and her bravery to pursue something new in a completely different environment. I really liked listening to her thoughts about her family, friends, and of course, Alex. Alex left his well-paid job as a lawyer to qualify as a nurse because that’s what his heart wanted, costing him constant nagging from his family and losing his long-time girlfriend. He really annoyed me at times because he was very indecisive. He wanted one thing from life, but was acting completely differently. :/ I really liked all Jesse’s friends, they were so different and interesting to read about.

The events of one year, were described in this novel. It all starts in December, and I absolutely loved the way Rose Curtis described the atmosphere. She has a great eye for the picturesque views, and she really made me love London even more.

Uniquely fantabulous! (0 more)

So good, I bought the second book 3 chapters in.

Contains spoilers, click to show

I can't say this for many books anymore, but I was hooked from page 1. The second I read the page about the cross thoughts and repeats being intentional, I was like 'this is gonna be good'. Juliette is so strong and beautiful and Adam is just perfect. The story flows so well and I never wanted to put it down!! And when I did have to, it was all I could think about. I was right there along with the characters, immersed in such a fantastical world Mafi thought up and shared so beautifully with us. It was like every fantasy I've ever had! Powers, romance, heroes and villains. This book will leave you wishing you were a superhero, fighting a battle for the good guys in a future so crazy, it has to be real!!! I can't wait to read book 2!! I actually bought this in paperback a while ago and after reading up to chapter 3, I had to buy the second one too!

Who is Margo Roth Spiegelman? That is exactly what Quentin Jacobson would like to know,or more importantly where is she. He's loved her for as long as he can remember,she on the other hand hasn't paid attention to him for many years until one night she climbs through his window and asks him to help her with some things she needs to do. The next day shes gone,but not before leaving some clues behind for him to follow. I found that this book drew me in and kept me wanting to know more and had me trying to piece together the clues myself.When I first began reading it I feared I was too old (being 24) for the kind of audience this book was aimed at,I didn't let that put me off and I am so pleased it didn't as the more I read the more I forgot about my thoughts during the first few chapters. This is the second book I have read by John Green and it impressed me as always :)
