CHEESY! As an
adult reading this book, it reminded me of a fluffy romance novel for teens. Complete
with a very unrealistic predictable plot, the dreamy protagonist, and conflicts
that are resolved too quickly and smoothly. Worst of all, knowing it will end
happily ever after. I realize that many adult
women enjoy this type of novel, therefore female teens may also enjoy this book
and even fall in love with Graham. I
read and love a lot of YA novels, but believe some can only be appreciated if
you are still a teen. This is definitely one of those. For that reason, I understand why it is a
Teens’ Top Ten nominee. With that being said, I feel there are many more
quality love stories for teens published including The Fault in Our Stars by John Green and Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell.
