This book may have been terrible if it weren't so amazing. The author took every single cliche ever written in any teenage FML book, wrote her own book, and somehow made all the cliches beautiful. The writing resonated, the characters were so wonderfully written (though I swear I would have hated Charlie if Vera's memories of him weren't so gut-wrenching and heart-breaking), and even though the History-I'd-Rather-Forget chapters confused me a bit, the writing was so easy to follow and love.
