I actually just read this book in one sitting. (Okay. Maybe I stopped to eat and go to the bathroom.) That's how much I loved it. I was skeptical when I started after reading all the mixed reviews. Now, I just think anyone who gave it less than four stars must not have a heart. I'm kidding. (Maybe.) I should have never lost faith in Rainbow Rowell. I have loved everything I've ever read from her. This was one of those books that made me stop and think, "I wish I would have thought of this." Maybe it was all the things that hit so close to home. I graduated in 1993, so all the past references were comfortable and familiar. I, too, once fell for a boy who had a girlfriend--whom he broke up with for me. And then we got married. And had two little girls. So, Georgie and Neal were comfortable and familiar. Read it. If you have a heart and still believe in a little magic.
