First impressions are always important and the cover of this book instantly caught my attention. It looks like a watercolor masterpiecr and is visually appealing. The story starts off deep from the get go and you can tell you need to prep yourself for an emotional rollercoaster. You know, the kind that ONLY Gayle Forman can take you on. The characters are really ready to relate to this far. I cannot wait to finish up this story.
