liked it

This was a sweet story and a quick easy read. I can see why a lot of people would love it.

For me it fell flat and was fairly predictable. I felt disappointed when we finally learn why the main character is in the position he is in. I was expecting something more shocking and interesting. Some parts also felt contrived and too coincidental for me to enjoy fully.

I haven't seen the movie but I bet it's really sweet


Anny I remember really liking this all those years ago. And I remember the film made me angry! The whole book is about Pat trying ti find out what happened and the film basically serves it to you on a silver plate at the very beginning! I thought that was ridiculous!

I remember it being mostly very angsty but it did have some cute scenes. And I really liked the dance competition scene.
