"better than the movies" felt like a dream come true. the book was so cute and adorable that it exceeded all expectations. the characters were swoon-worthy, i really enjoyed the natural chemistry between them, it didn't feel forced at all. although i couldn't help but feel for wes, knowing deep down that he had loved her long before the plotline. i'm eagerly looking forward to reading her next book.

i really enjoyed how she initially tried to impress michael by changing herself, but with wes's kind of help (which is ironical, iykyk), she rediscovered her true self. it was also touching to see how wes reacted when he found her at the cemetery.
so many memorable moments in this book!
