When I heard Han was turning one of my favorite novels into a sequel I screamed for joy and excitement. And when it came out I got my hands on it right away. So over the vacation break after reading one of my summer reading books (life of pi, which is great also) I started to read this one. I read it in 2 days without stopping I couldn't put it down. I was sad when I finished because I had nothing else to do on the 13 hours road trip home from Maine.
Jenny Han is a genius and forever will be. She has created a story so great I wish I had it.
FAVORITE CHARACTER: I'm torn between Peter and John Ambrose. They are the two main boy characters and I love them both. They are both equally as romantic in their own ways and I can't decide which is better. I love them both so much and once you read it you'll understand why it's so hard to choose between the two.
Favorite quotes: "I suppose you can't hold on to old things just for the sake of holding on."
"Things feel like they'll be forever, but they aren't. Love can go away, or people can, without even meaning to. Nothing is guaranteed."
"There are two kinds of girls in this world. The kind who breaks hearts and the kind who gets her heart broken."
"Youth is truly wasted on the young."
"Maybe really, really good things aren't meant to last for too long; maybe that's what makes them all the more sweet, the temporariness of them."
"She's too little to understand. Part of me hopes she never does. It was better when I didn't."
"I could fall in love with you so easily, I'm halfway there already."
"I don't think it was our time then. I guess it isn't now, either. But one day maybe it will be."
"People come in and out of your life. For a time they are your world; they are everything. And then one day they're not. There's no telling how long you will have them near.... It's the goodbyes that are hard."
"I know now that I don't want to love it be loved in half measures. I want it all, and to have it all, you have to risk it all."
