I love it and the movie was pretty close which is rare for books turned into a movie thing, the guy that played August really knocked it out of the park in his performance

Loved it! Can’t remember if I loved it all the way through, but this book is one of those books that makes me wary of abandoning books because the ending might be great. I’d say if you make it halfway through and still just don’t care, then the ending might not make that much difference to you though—at that point, abandon at will! ?

Very good, my daughter read it and recommended it to me. She is a very occasional reader, so I gobbled up the oppotunity♡

Loved it and one of the few books that I would like to reread as it’s been so long since I did read it.

Wasn’t as great as I was expecting. The writing was good, the romance was annoying, but that’s not cause for a bad review. I was expecting it going in. I found it more depressing than anything and the ending actually made me roll my eyes BUT it was needed I guess
