really liked it

okay, im bumping up my original rating because sometimes i find myself randomly thinking about this book, even months after finishing this, so obviously i liked it more than i initially thought i did.

this was a sweet and touching story, but i keep coming back to the way the story was told. the writing was honestly of the highest quality. it was pure and raw and just so dang honest. i dont think i have ever related to a teenaged boy before, but this book changed that. the characters were just so well executed, making them easy to relate to and even love.

this book is dedicated ‘for all the boys who have had to learn to play by different rules� and i couldnt describe this story more perfectly than that if i tried. but i also think this novel has something to offer to every single person. its one of those books that transcends boundaries because at the heart of it is a message and lesson that everyone needs to read.

as you can tell, i enjoyed this, so check back again in a few weeks because i will probably bump the rating up again. :P

Debra Great Review, Jessica! I have that same thing with books. I give it one rating and then find myself thinking about the characters and the story long after I have finished. It's always interesting is to learn that we enjoyed a book much more than we thought we did.
