Review:
(Source: Purchased from Amazon)
I really enjoyed this book. For me, it was a real eye-opener about life. It shows you how other people live, it even lets you live that life with them. When the author chose to focus on this aspect of the book... it made me really happy. (:
But, there were other aspects that I also enjoyed. A's relationship with Rhiannon was really refreshing. It happened very fast, which I didn't like at all, but I got over it and let myself fall into it pretty easily.
There was also Nathan, a kid who knew A's secret but didn't understand it, and at first I found Nathan annoying but then... David Levithan said something about answers leading to more questions and it all became worth it for some reason, like Nathan was only in this story so that David could teach us that important lesson.
And. That. Ending. Let's just say.. not what I expected, but I still loved and understood it.
Overall, I would give this book 4 stars.
What could make this book five stars for me? Let the relationship move forward on its own, don't rush it. Regardless, this book made me a fan of David Levithan.
Should you read it?
Yes, if you ever get in the mood to have your perspective broadened. Even if you don't, it was a great story and you should give 'er a chance. (:

Recommendations?
I would say that this book reminds me of If I Stay by: Gayle Forman, because they are both about people in love that have to choose to stay where they are or stay with their loved one(s).
