My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I have never laughed and cried so much over a book in my life. This book is remarkable! The characters are so perfectly flawed and well-rounded that I fell in love with them all in a matter of pages. Of course, Sweetie and Melissa, being the two main characters knocked my socks off, but I also adored Melissa's parents. It takes skill to make a reader 'not like' a character in the beginning of a book, and then make them sympathize with them the more and more one finds out about them. I experienced this with Melissa's mother. I felt such a roller coaster of emotions while reading this that when it ended I burst into a huge fit of tears. Why? Why oh why did it have to end???
Chapter TEN, is extra special. I will remember that chapter forever. You'll just have to pick this up and read it to find out why :o)
