Wonderfully well written with a gripping plot and a love story that had me laughing and crying and then laughing again within pages. I do think that marketing it as “A Love Story” almost does it a disservice. I found it to have much more compelling themes and storytelling than many YA romances. I always prefer when the romance plot is central to the story but secondary to the real conflict going on in the character’s world - great balance. I wish I could go back and read it again for the first time.
