THIS, This my friends... this is the book that started it all. Twilight may have first introduced me to the world of YA Books - Yes, Twilight was the first book I ever read, and double Yes, I liked it. And no, you are not allowed to judge me - but THIS, this book was the one that sealed the deal. This book got me forever hooked on YA Contemporary books, it set standards and it awoke things in me that I was trying really hard to forget and ignore and others that were waiting to be discovered: like my love for books. 
 This book is a treasure. It teaches you that you have a choice, that you always have a choice. You can either go with it... Or not. That you shouldn't judge! (too much, at least). That you should learn how to keep quiet some times and actually listen. That, as a matter of fact, you can listen to the quiet, and that you can be amazed of what it has to say. AMAZED I TELL YOU! 
 This was going to be just a mini review saying that this book started it all but I kinda kept going... if it wasn't already obvious, I am very passionate about this book. And you know what's even more amazing? my stupidity for letting a certain friend borrow it even though I know she isn't the most trustworthy person, and for acting surprised when she returned it stained on lots of pages and with the cover ruined because she spilled a drink over it. asdfghjkl. 
 Favorite quote from this book and of all times: 
 "There comes a time when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is your own heart. So you'd better learn the sound of it. Otherwise you'll never understand what it's saying."
