"Maybe the rules change when you grow up. Maybe there are times when you can quit, for a while at least. But I don't think you should be allowed to quit on people. And nobody should be allowed to quit on Heather."

Someone love me as much as Joseph loves Heather please.

Joseph and Heather were just so good for each other and the story in general. They grew up so well and the character development was amazing and so clearly seen. Even the characters we written so well. I just absolutely adored the characters here *cough* Charlie *cough*. I ended up enjoying Charlie's character in the end of the book.

The writing style did not bore me at all and I found myself being widely amused at a lot of parts. Julian was the key to this amusement of mine.


I love how the book focused on having someone there to push you to do your best and catch you whenever we fall. I have always liked books that focuses a lot more on the friendship of the characters more than the romantic side, even though this did include some parts that were romanticized. For me, I was just struck more on Heather and Joseph as partners and friends than them being a couple.


This is was a really great middle-grade, coming of age type of read. This book is for those who are looking for a sporty read and for those who feel like giving up on whatever 'thing' they are focused on. Whether it be liberal arts, performing arts, music, sports, writing, or just whatever your thing is.
