Review
Yovanoff has crafted a poignant tale of life and love. Waverly spends her days putting on a fake face for everyone in her life, while at night she runs her feet ragged instead of sleeping. Marshall spends most of his time high or drunk while trying to escape his terrible family situation. They've admired each other from afar, until one night Waverly dreams herself into Marshall's room. This is the only supernatural element in the story, and it takes a back seat to the developing relationship of the teens. Yovanoff's writing pulls you right into the characters' lives, and you will want to stay there and finish the book in one sitting.
Overall Book Score: excellent
