I was so skeptical of this book based on what I knew of it, it sounded like it had the potential to be really cheesy. But, everyone kept raving about it, and also I had loved Nicola Yoon's previous book, [book:Everything, Everything|18692431], so I finally picked it up, and... read it all in one day because I couldn't put it down. IT'S GREAT.

I especially love the way the stories of side characters (or like, side abstract concepts) are woven in, and I know that's something I would have eaten up as a teen.
