This book was amazing! . . . I laughed with Lennie, cried with Lennie and hurt with Lennie, one of the best things I've read ince Twilight!

Couldn't put this book down. At last a novel for teenagers that doesn't talk down or preach, while handling grown up themes in a beautiful uplifting way.

An excellent read, with a heart felt storyline about dealing with grief and the confusions love brings.

A genuine romance to rival Heathcliff and Cathy or Elizabeth Bennett and Darcy. If you love those, as I do, you will love this 21st century version. A fantastic heart-rending feel good book.

Never have I come across a more powerful and emotive book . . . This would be the book I would recommend to teenagers first this year, and frankly, to adults too. Totally gorgeous read that blew me away. What a treat.

It had me hooked from start to finish ... everything that Lennie felt I was feeling too and it made me laugh and cry in equal measure.
