I had been looking forward to this book, as everyone seems to love it. Unfortunately though, it was not for me. I'm a fast reader, but this book took me three weeks to read. I was just so bored by it. The only character I cared about was Ludivine, but she wasn't in it enough for me to feel compelled to keep reading all the time. It's got an interesting concept though, and I think for some people it will really work and may just be their favorite book of the year.
Personally I found it overhyped, and I read it before it even received that much hype. Also, the romance between Simon and whichever girl it was squicked me out a little. He's several years older than her, and she's so young right now. Maybe in the future it'll be fine, but for now I don't like it.
