this book is absolutely gorgeous. 

i loved the long-distance aspect; it's not one you see a lot in ya and as a child of the internet, i definitely have had crushes on people that lived an entire country away. it was so nice to see that play out in such a fun, positive way. 

i listened to the audiobook for this and the narrator did such a phenomenal job with jonny's words i found myself sobbing more than once in the car. i definitely got looks, but <i>you</i> try listening to jules' coming out and not weep. 

an instant favorite.
