I personally love this book because as you're reading it for the first time, it appears to be just another unlikely high school romance, but at the end it folds into something so much deeper than originally thought. The ending leaves the reader in a jumble of emotions. I know I felt inspired, sad, angry, but at the same time warm inside that their love for each other was so strong and empowering.
