Has anyone read this? I've just finished it and need someone to discuss it with (book club doesn't meet until March to talk about it)!

I hadn't heard of it at all and after the first few pages was sure I'd hate it, but ended up absolutely loving it. Found it very poignant, very reminiscent of the 90s and thought the characters were very believable. It had its faults, but I loved it.

Looks like it's just me though!

Yes, Berry. Was a good idea, badly executed.

Can't understand the hype.

Iv'e just bought it, looks like I shouldn't have bothered!

Hated it, couldn't like any of the characters so found it hard to care about what happened.

Shame really, as I thought the idea for chapter every year was interesting.

Me Grin I really liked it even though I found bith emma & dex annoying at time (more so dex)

I thought the 1 year apart on every chapter really worked well.

I read it, I htought it was rubbish.
