i seriously have no idea how to rate this book... it was alright, i guess. it started out as one thing and i got the idea that it's gonna be like Before The Coffee Gets Cold type of vibe. like, the main event being played in the bookstore. and it was as such up until one point but after that the story turned out to be something different. 

I'm really not sure how to explain this but the book felt both a bit childish and mature. childish because the words and phrases and situations felt pretty unrealistic and too immature but then they started to discuss themes like being unable to have children and different diseases. i couldn't comprehend that.

anyway, the book was nice for a random read. i read it while on a vacation so i had a nice time. :)
