Even if you think Romeo and Juliet type books are dull and cliche, you will still find plenty to like in this great book with plenty of emotional depth leading into the world of a 17-year-old girl and her search for the truth. I read this book looking for a romance story, but instead I found a deep, thought provocative book that I could fully relate to and that I found to be my favorite book of all time. My advice: Even if it doesn't seem to be your type of book, pick it up, and I guarantee, after a couple of pages you won't put it back down.
