Eeep, this book is just soooo adorable in a good-giggly-teenager way. I should have read this earlier when I was still *ahem* teenager, not that I enjoyed it less. The story is just cute, really cute is all I could say. And I couldn't help reminisce my own sappy high school memories. It was a 'he-said-she-said' kind of story which made it more interesting and again, cute.
Though it was not only about first love and the immaturity of it, there were also subtle hints about the importance of family (The Bakers are definitely the loveliest fictional family ever) and respect for others who are not our own.
And who wouldn't love Juli Baker? She was the most stubborn yet cheerful girl with a strong will even at her young age. And yes the love interest, Bryce Loski was the dumbest LI I ever read but who didn't sigh the most girly gush and fell in love with him in the end? The ending was just magical. I'm also a weenie when it comes to tree climbing but it was definitely one of my favorite ending ever.
I think this book was definitely more than the sum of its parts. It was not only a love story of two ordinary teenage girl and boy but also holds a lot of lessons about life that will make you realize that there's more to the surface of everyone than your bare eyes could see.
