I give it three stars, preferably 2 and a half. Why? Because I didn't really understand it. I only skimmed through it. It was not exactly 14 year old material, if you know what I mean. But, what I mean is the book had a lot of things that might've been for older people than I. But, from the pages I've read, I'd say it was an okay book.
This book was very good. It is a love story between two opposites. Michele has no friends until Nathaniel comes along. He was too nice and she was too mean. They were perfect together. Every puzzle piece fit together. It was a difficult love story. Nathaniel affected Michele like no one else could. He turned Michelle into a girl who could love and who became very passionate about him. He made her realize her faults and encouraged her good side. This love story is sad and funny.
