I'm not a fan of romance, particularly teenage romance. In fact, I would say I despise teenage romance because I find it so stupid and ridiculous. I read this book with my English class and I would say I enjoyed it. I found Juli and Bryce's friendship adorable and I was glad they weren't a "couple" in the end. This definitely differed from other romance books. I guess I wouldn't necessarily call it "romance." In the end,it would be considered a complicated friendship with a happy ending. :)
