Lived up to the hype!
So I wanted to see what all the hype was about and it was free on amazon kindle!
I really enjoyed this! It had a great pace, interesting characters and the story is a bit different from the usual YA. I used to read a lot of YA but found them getting a bit "samey" so I was dubious at first thinking that this would be your typical rom-com style, but it really wasn't.
I did guess the ending but I was enjoying the read so much that it didn't bother me that I had an idea of what was coming 😊

i think this book and me just met at the wrong time because when I finally got I to this I did really enjoy it however it took me a FRICKING long time to get into it. I was in a YA rut and this was the first non YA book that I read in a LONG time and I just don't think I was ready for the world of adult fiction again but this book honestly was so well written and such an uplifting story it just didn't agree with me right now but I would like to give it another chance but for now it's a no

A great YA fictional book that hits you in the feels over and over. Very well written and is one of those books you can read cover to cover. Even if that means no sleep. Every book I have read from John Green has been fantastic!

OK is a good word to describe this novel. I found it weird that it was deemed a YA novel, but was from the viewpoint of the parents. The mystery wasn't all that mysterious, and it was predictable. The premise sounded amazing, but it was ultimately lack-luster.

I wish there was an option to give a 3.5 rating. I enjoyed the premise but not the writing. I will read the 2nd book to see if the writing improves.

Just because a story is YA doesn't mean it can't be well written. The story felt rushed.

I found this film very entertaining. It is a film-oriented at children and YA, and I loved the message it sends. I absolutely loved Enola, she is a strong and curious girl. Even though the plot can get silly sometimes, I really enjoyed it.
