Reviews

[Big Book Theory · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have just finished reading this book. I never read Young Adult Novels (When I was a YA I read Mills & Boons), until Stephenie Meyer introduced me to the Twilight Saga, and although being a YA is a long forgotten memory for me, I am now hooked to Young Adult Romance.

Brad, with his first person narrative drew me in from his first word. It was sad and so very reminiscent of my very first crush, when love was still instantaneous.

I felt his sadness and I fell in love with them, and I felt their emotions as my own when they fell in love.

I enjoyed this book thoroughly.

I cannot believe I finally found this book. I've been searching for it for years!

A fast read, love story. It made me want to read more to see how it ended. Very sad, I cried.

I remember I'd cried while reading this book towards the end. Read it when I was a teenager :)

Another blast from the past. This song had me weeping my head off! For such a young romance novel I though it was very moving- she really made you fall for the characters.

I remember I read this book back in College. The story is so memorable for me and until now I still think about it as well as talk about it randomly.

Too bad I lost my copy of this. Would love to get one or even an epub version.

I want to have an epub copy of this book. I don't think they're selling it anymore. This is where my dad got my name.
