Women: If you've ever been in a relationship with a boy who other people raised their eyebrows at, said wasn't "good enough" for you, or disappointed and thrilled you repeatedly, constantly, over and over ... you will understand this book.
If not, you won't enjoy it. Actually, you may not enjoy it either way--I definitely squirmed in discomfort a few times--but you will feel like somebody out there understands what you went through/are going through.
Without spoiling things: the ending is...if not satisfying, at least it doesn't cheat. This is an easy book to read, and funny, though slightly annoying in structure (it alternates chapters--one in the past, one in the present). It also neglects the one scene that would seem to be the crux of the entire relationship, which seemed an odd narrative choice to me.
