I absolutely love this book! I remember how the movie was about to be released in theaters, which was around the time I was in eight grade, so I knew I had to read it before watching it. All of my teachers and classmates warned me I'd be crying, mostly at the end, but that I'd love it. I think I read it in two days? Regardless, I cried my eyes out, just as much as I laughed and sympathized, and so many other things. I love this book so much, even to this day. A definite must read.
