I loved this so much more than I thought I was going to.

I've never been a huge fan of the adaptations I've seen of this book because I'm nota big fan of the soppy romance. But this book... THIS BOOK!

It had me laughing out loud, crying, smiling like an idiot at the romance and it even made me say "ooooh dang girl" out loud at one point.

It's charming and witty and hilarious and heartwarming and dramatic all at the same time. And this is from someone who is not a fan of romance.

This is absolutely deserving of all the many many years of hype and popularity that it has received. Skip all the adaptations, this book is all you need.
