Customer Reviews

Much to sad for me

The level of sadness and heartbreak was a bit to much for me in this book...it affected me emotionally. However it was written very beautifully, I think

A Book That'll Stick With You

This book absolutely is one of the best books I've ever had the privilege to read. I was pulled in solely from the cover and although you're never supposed to judge a book by the cover, I did. I knew it was going to be an amazing read. What I didn't expected is I'd be glued to this book, the characters, and the story for years to come. It's been many years since I first read it and recent reread it. It still plucked at my heartstrings and made my eyes well with tears. I can relate a lot to the character Gabe and how he views the world / seeks to make an impact, with that being said, the aspect of relating deeply to a character pulled me in even more. The way the book is written sheds light on life, relationships, ups and downs, and deep emotional truth. A journey between two star-crossed lovers etching their fate and love entwined through time is something beautiful. Anytime someone asks me a book I recommend, this is the first one I mention. Incredible read that will make your emotions be pulled in every direction, yet you won't want to book down and once you do, you'll realize the story will stay with you forever.

Read it in 1 day

This book WILL have you crying. The author really makes you feel the relationship the 2 main characters had. The end could have been better, way better. But it was still a good read.

Beautifully written

Romantic Read

Although I didn't really expect to enjoy a teen novel, it kept my attention with its fast pace and real characters. It was beautifully written, with a perfect tragic love story. I highly, highly recommend. Not too heavy, not too light.

Beautifully written. Read it in 2 days. Tear jerker

Cannot Put it Down!

I am halfway through this book and I find it very difficult to put it down. It's captivating and beautifully written. Reminds me of the movie "The Way We Were." The perfect summer read!
