How do I really put into words this story without giving it away....

Let me sum it up like this. This story is about loss. Loss of someone you loved. Loss of who you are. It deals with themes of depression, anxiety, the feeling of losing who you were and trying to figure out who you are. And so much more. The book ends on an interesting note, one I actually didn’t expect.

I almost cried a couple of times during this. I also have to say this book is written how a teenager would speak, how a teenager would process things. I think that’s what made it so relatable to me.

This book is heartbreaking (especially towards the end), but I highly recommend reading it. I would love to see what happens to the characters past the end of this book, but I guess we will never know the answer to that. I am very excited to read more books by Nina LaCour eventually, and I’m happy I took a chance back last summer when I picked this book up and knew nothing about it.

I found that this isn't as bad as everyone says. I like how each are titled. Let me tell you, if your not ready to read poetry about sex, you might want to skip this book. Otherwise, enjoy.

It was the most recent movie of the same title that inspired me to read this book. I like both of them equally.

The book is wonderfully written. I like how the movie combined some characters, and drew out backstories. If you want a version that is more concise, this book is for you.

I have to say, this wasn’t my favourite read. I found it carried on a bit too much. I haven’t read a Poirot book through fully though, which might’ve been the downfall. We don’t get a whole lot of backstory on Poirot. Don’t get me wrong, this is a stand alone book. Very much like Sherlock Holmes, the stories make more sense when read in order, but they can be read alone as well.

I can see why it’s a classic. I don’t know if I would read this again, but I would love to act in a production of it!
