Magical.
Stephanie Perkins writes in that way that makes you feel everything. While reading this one, I went through the whole spectrum of emotions, and I was on the edge of my seat wanting to know what would happen next.
It wasn't as good as Anna. I will say that. But I still loved it.
Lola was annoying in places, yet somehow that made her a more believable and relatable character.
Now Cricket. He was perfect. Why is every perfect guy fictional? It's just not fairrrrrr.
Stephanie builds the characters of everyone mentioned in this book; no one is left with half a character. The result is an atmospheric, realistic story with loveable and hate-able characters all round. A good mix.
It makes me sad that Stephanie Perkins has only written 3 books, because I know that I am now over halfway through all her works. Her books are an instant pick-me-up, a reliable solution to a bad day. Her characters are friends who stay with you and teach you lessons about life, being motivational reasons to try something new.
I can't wait for Isla now.
