I really enjoyed this book because -as someone a little older than its intended audience- I know a lot of couples like Reid and Molly. Nerdy boys who are unapologetically themselves and girls with great style who make the most amazing things... They're some of the most loving couples I know.
When you're young and not necessarily conventionally attractive, it can be hard to imagine that you will one day find someone who looks at you like you're their whole world. But you will. And so it's great that so many young readers can relate to how this story represents these issues in a fun and wholesome way.
