Customer Reviews

Great book.

I really loved the book and the series. I watched the series before I read the book and although the story lines are quite different I enjoyed them both equally. It's an entertaining, amusing book with some serious moments thrown in but overall it's a light-hearted enjoyable book. :)

An unexpected twist

This is a good book, not just for teens but for adults as well. I bought it after I watch the tv series hoping it would give me more background stories on each characters, and indeed it did. I was expecting a lite chick lit of course and what do you know, it actually have an unexpected depth and makes one thinks. I love this book so much that I bought the sequel "Sweet"

:]

I've read this book many times. I strongly disagree with all these bad reviews. This book is one of my favorites. I wasn't a huge fan of how it ended but altogether i loved this book.

Wonderful book!!!

This book was really great and had the best humor! Definitely sad at parts, but never failed to please.

Book good - but get the DVD!!!

Read this, nothing special etc. Then I watched the series on E4/c4 in the UK. It is an amazing, well written and acted series which uses the book as an ideas factory instead of using it entirely. [...]
