I'm a big fan of Levithan, but I was a little dubious as to whether I would enjoy or relate to the content further than his usual beautiful prosey romantic flow of words.

I'm not a one for romance books, But this book left me crying the entire time. It made me think not only of previous romantic relationships, but also the strong bonds I've had with my best friends, how much I've been in a vicious cycle of loving and hating and loving again. The nameless characters just seemed so malleable to any reader and their life positions, but the places they were coming from just spoke so true. How factors such as sex, the internet and alcohol can pulled such a drive on my own relationships gave me such a bizzare moment of reflection on all the people I've known is just terrifying and affirming at the same time, and I found it just really solidified a lot of feelings for me that I've never been able to put into words.

this book is such an easy read, and its certainly one I'll look back on; in a way the novel read like a poetry book, the order of events was only alphabetical and favourite pages are easy to revisit. however the last one really offers an element of surprise that maybe you aren't expecting, but then again after reading makes perfect sense.
