My Thoughts
Oh wow! Hoover sure knows how to throw me off the track! so many twists and turns! Just like when my niece suddenly decides she wants juice, and then, it's milk! ah well maybe not like that! but really! kids can be super annoying you know! they know five words! and everything is expressed by these five words! and I have to figure out what they want! Gah!!!!
Right, the book, I wasn't expecting I would like this much! if the first chapters were any indicator, I was set to hate it, sure Lake has this "snark" about her, but still, it was set to an non original YA love! but then, Bam! Will turns out to be.... ohhh I'm not gonna say! you have to read it!
every character in this book is unique and fun in it's own way! and Hoover has a way to keep you turning the pages. I like how each character grew up and developed.
to be honest, I read a lot of books that over all, were better. but this book had something that made me fall in love with it, just the right amount of laughs, tears, and corky friends!
a fun and heart warming novel!
5/5
