Thoughts:
Margaux is a girl in high school who is beautiful. Guys are always interested in her. But then comes along this strange boy, Danny, who is a year below her and dresses so weird. Thing is, he doesn't show a bit of interest in her. This immediately intrigues her. Margaux has a troubled past but so does Danny. Not only that but he actually gets her.
I LOVE this book so much you have no idea. If it were a person I would hug it and never let go. I loved it that much. It made me so sad when it ended. Seriously. I went back two times just to make sure it really was over. I didn't want it to be :'(.
I've never read any of Ron Koertge's (Stoner & Spaz, Deadville) books but I've heard a bunch of great things about him. Now I know why people say he's a great writer. It's because he is! Sigh. I miss this guy's writing it is really good. I have found a new favorite author. :D
Like I said before the writing is awesome. I've read that some people found this book to be to complicated and/or hard to get into. It's not, well, not to me. It's really good at least give it a chance, you will not be disappointed.
It's a beautifully crafted story about an unlikely friendship. No, it's not a love story, so don't expect one. Gosh you will seriously miss these characters. Aww I want to find me a Danny now hehe You'll know exactly what I mean once you read it. This book is unfortunately short but so full of awesomeness it will seriously leave you satisfied once you've read it. :) This is one of those books I know I'll be re-reading again and again. :D
This book is not only enjoyable to read but it also makes you think. You really need to give people a chance. You shouldn't just be friends with people you are normally friends with but..branch out you know? That sounds funny but you know what I mean. Make friends with those you don't think you'd normally be friends with. You just might find yourself a great friend. :D Toy Story!! hehe Anywho....
Characters: Margaux and Danny, sigh I love them and I will miss them terribly. I hated Margaux's parents for being such a-holes. I just wanted her to get away from them! I really liked Danny's aunt, that lady is super duper! I got so sad because her illness made her sad :( I just adored that she, Danny, and Margaux, like reading so much. :D
Cool:
The story, the well-developed, surely-to-be-missed characters, the writing, um..everything!
Not so Cool:
I didn't like that the writer kind of made it seem like what happened to Margaux was something else. That irked me a bit. I understand that I jumped to conclusions but wouldn't you? Okay you might not have any idea what I'm talking about but I don't want to ruin it for anyone so I'll just keep my mouth shut.
