Review
Good gravy! This book is soooooooooooo good. I finished it and then had the (annoying but wonderful) what to read next conundrum. You know when the book you just read is too good and you can't imagine what will follow it.
This book is the break up letter we all wanted to write (maybe some of you did, go you!). It is the perfect reflection on first love. Beautifully tragic because we know the ending. It all rings so true. I'm going to try and not spoiler you, so I'll be brief. I love Min (hugs Min), I totally understand the relationship because I even like Ed (stupid Ed), and most of all I welcome a romantic book about first love that isn't all rainbows and kittens.
Story - 4/5 emotionally awesome
Characters - 4/5 I love you I hate you
Romance - 3/5 I want to give it 4/5 but you know, they break up
Illustrations and Idea - 4/5 LOVE
Snogging Scale - 10 (we can talk about it after you have read it)
Overall - 4/5 It broke my heart, but I loved it.
