This is one of the only books that has ever made me cry. So there's no way I'm not giving this 5 stars. I'm definitely not the crying type but this absolutely beaufitul story managed to evoke some tears. 
 You have to read the whole book to really understand what I mean. If you read the first 100 or so pages you probably won't get it yet. Trust me, if the first half of the book isn't convincing, just push through and read it all. Because for the first 200 pages or so it is like most other developing romances, even though it does happen quickly (don't let that stop you from reading it though, because Will and Lake grow on you, slowly and wonderfully). 
 Whoever mentioned that they were crying for the last 10% of the novel, I can definitely relate. 
 It's just beautiful, touching and well-written. The plot develops in such a way that through it's slow evolution the plot flourishes right before your eyes. It transforms into this emotional beauty that you could have never guessed at the start. 
 Maybe I'm just sappy, since I'm writing this at like midnight and I've just finished it (literally 2 minutes ago) so if you do read it and are like, "I don't think I'm feeling what your describing Larissa" then that's fine. We're all going to have different opinions. 
 All I can ask is to give it a go, if you're anything like me you won't regret it :) 
 Oh and I'm gonna go look up the sequel....
