The Spectacular Now by Tim Tharp
5.0

I don't even know how to put into words how much I loved this book. I started reading it at midnight and finished it just as the sun was rising, and I can't do that with a lot of books.
For me, it was slightly predictable, but not completely. I was still surprised and in awe at some of the plot twists.
The characters are really easy to like and they really drew me in. I felt sympathetic towards Sutter and I instantly fell in love with Aimee's character.
I loved how the story flowed, and how you could tell that Aimee had affected and changed Sutter's life through her kind nature. She taught him that he can be loved and love people back. He just needs to open himself up to it, and to possible heart break.
Altogether a lovely read, really enjoyable!
