It's in a class of its own. <br /><br />Jeanne - I did too. It's hard to find that in novels that are still funny in parts. <br /><br />Meg - It is different and I loved E&P more, but this one is still good. <br /><br />Andi - I've definitely been there before. Sometimes it's good to give yourself time before trying another one. <br /><br />Lu - Exactly. It's not a falling in love for the first time story, it's got a lot more depth than that. <br /><br />Kailana - I was worried I would be disappointed, but I think people were just expecting a YA novel and got something very different.
