This is the first time in a long time I want to write a genuine review of a book instead of just a quick line or two to say what I thought. That will need to take place at a later time, though. I need to sleep on it. ]]>

I'm not going to resummarize the book, but I will say the person who made the list shocked me a little. I can totally imagine this having happened in my school. In fact, I'm not so sure Siobhan Vivian didn't graduate from the same high school I did. Some of the girls there were just. that. petty.

It was well written & it didn't drive me crazy when she jumped to a new character. The story line between the senior girls was incredibly interesting [again, something that could have happened in my high school]. I wish she'd elaborated on the pretty junior's story. ]]>

I'd heard of what Gander did for stranded passengers, but never really thought about it other thank thinking it was so kind of them. For me, this book was more about helping others than about the relationship that developed as a result of being stuck somewhere for 96 hours. ]]>

I wish I had something poetic & articulate to say right now. I don't; nothing is as beautiful as the words Emma poured into this beautiful book.

I think Caren said it best. The characters had me. I can't wait to buy this book for all of my friends, tell them to read it, and then smile smugly at them when they flail just as much as I did. For once, I will enjoy the 'I told you so' moment. ]]>

I had a vague sense of what this was about when I started reading it, but I never imagined I'd fall so in love with the characters or feel so much for them.

This made me think so, so much. I'm sure I'll still be thinking of it I the coming weeks. That's honestly all I have to say. ]]>

It was good, but the beginning just made me want to claw my eyes out or turn off the book for the third time. I'd tried listening to this a few times, but it was really difficult without the Audible app on my phone. The app made it easier to mark where I was, as listening to it on my iPod was difficult because I couldn't mark my place if I had to unplug it from anything.

Over all, I'm glad I read it. I'd like to see the movie eventually. I may try to watch the Swedish version on Netflix. ]]>

I'm not going to lie, there were parts that gave me a very physical reaction. I was so angry at one point, I think I'd have thrown my nook if I didn't realize 1) it's an expensive toy & 2) I trusted the author to give the people who beat Clint their due.

This was well written without being so flowery I wanted to put it down. In fact, I didn't put it down often. I read while my kids watched their morning cartoons, I read well into the night one night, and when I realized how close I was to finishing it, I put the kids to bed early so that would be possible.

I loved it. I can't wait to read more of Markus & Clint's story. ]]>
