This book makes me want to go outside and hug everybody no matter what. This book is so real it's pure genius. To think that someone is stuck in a situation like August's somewhere halfway across the world is insane and that's what contemporary is all about. That's what makes me love it. It's a real eye opener. It makes me think, and I hope it makes others realise. The different perspectives shown in this book are on of my favorite parts. We don't only get to see what goes through Augusts head, but other characters that contribute to the story. I like how we got to see Via's POV because one can only imagine how she must feel. Of course she loves him to bits and pieces, but how she deals with this. There are some people out there who think this book is overrated, and let me tell you; if it is, it deserves to be.
