I started reading this as a travel book (each time I'd take a bus to class (when not studying), each time I'd have to wait in line for something, etc)since I realized how much time I'm wasting in public transport. You have no idea how many bus stops were missed! This novel is impossible to put down. 
 I have no idea how in the world I have not got to this novel before. It has been on my "to read" list since highschool, but I somehow never got to it... 
 It's perfect! The characters are interesting and well developed, the plot simply captivating, and the fact it is written from the perspectives of each of the characters makes this an interesting read>
