I am not kidding when I say this book is the best book I have ever read. I know I've said this a lot, but I'm being serious. I couldn't put this book down, at all. I had to keep reading and reading and reading and reading until the very end. This book made me cry and laugh and hold on to the edge of my seat and crossing my fingers to see what would happen next. I love Lena's character sooo much, one because she shares the same birthday as me, she's the same height as me, AND she loves running, just like me! So yeah, I love Lena. And who wouldn't love Alex? He's so sweet and nice and is totally against the world they are living in, and he isn't afraid to show it. This book's plot was the most incredible thing I have ever read, it was the first book that captured my heart from the very first sentence, which only shows how much more incredible it was. The ending was incredible too and I am soooo going to buy the second book once it comes out, I couldn't live without buying it! Over all, this is THE MOST INCREDIBLE AMAZING AWESOMEST MOST TOUCHING AND HEART WARMING BOOK EVER WRITTEN! That doesn't convince you enough? Go and read it for yourself!!!
