I've never been one for realistic fiction, but this book surprisingly hooked me in the beginning. Even though I had seen the TV movie with Kristen Stewart in it before reading this, I still had that drive to read more, to know more about the characters. This book was a summer reading assignment for my English class next year, but it didn't feel like that. I'm really happy that a book was picked for us to read that I actually enjoyed. Next year is already looking up, all because of this book.
