I wasn't really expecting much from this book, but it delivered. I love the main character. I found the story line to be new and different. You should for sure read this. It was brilliant.

The post apocalyptic word is actually interesting, actors' performances (especially great Hugo Weaving) are convincing enough and the CGI is better than expected (0 more)
Usual YA tropes (female badass hero, cheesy love story, etc.) (0 more)
Pleasant surprise

Book Favorite

"Still one of the only books that has left me in tears. Morrison’s words vividly depict how societal pressures and stereotypes become internalized, emphasizing the importance of self-love through a story of self-hate."

Book Favorite

"Hamid performs intricate, impossible tricks with time and place in this novel, and he’s so artful that it all feels not just plausible but effortless. Plus, the not-conventionally-requited love story is completely swoony."

I cried twice in this, and it isn't that long either.

Poor Dylan :'( And if Bo doesn't cut his hair soon, he'll be like Rapunzel :P

They're so cute together. A nice, sweet, love story.

this book had me hooked from the first page, I had a hard time putting it down. a very gripping story with a ending that will leave you shocked. the characters journey through the book is fantastic and as the story unfolds the truth is discovered. this is the first book in the set so have the others handy as you'll need them. this book is a love story but with lots of twists and turns that keeps the story flowing to the end.

I am such a softy at heart
If your thing is sickly sweet, predictable love stories then this is for you! As it happens, I love a good love story. The chemistry between the actors is brill, I also loved how it's shot when they are texting eachother (if you've seen it, you'll know what I mean).
