Not my cup of tea. Thought it was predictable and slow.

Not my favorite but it was a good story that I read in about 3 days.

The worst book I ever read…… the writer writes like a 15 year old girl…… And she studied English and American literature in Harvard…..how come.!!!….and the story line has been copied and pasted from a B grade movie script …..i never hated a single book in my life

@Lisa I highly recommend Gabrielle Zevin’s next novel “Young Jane Young” if you have not already read it. A whole new group of people to enjoy!

I really enjoyed it. I got a kick out of the “book recommendations” that come before each chapter. While the ending didn’t necessarily surprise me, I enjoyed watching the characters make the journey from A to B.

Loved it. I was a bookseller and the year that it came out in trade paperback, I decided that everyone should read it and sold a bunch.
