“It only
feels perfect because we’re pretending it’s perfect.” (237)
After one
year, the boy was all about searching for the girl he had a passionate
interlude in the closet. Right off the bat, the concept became interesting.
“In reality,
people are who they are and they’ll never really change. So why the hell are
Val and I even wasting our time on this exhausting relationship if we don’t
even really like each other? (266)
The
character dialogue was reminiscent of Holden Caulfield—very entertaining. I
loved the brutal honesty of the protagonist, Daniel. It was funny sometimes.
I agreed
with Daniel about the purse. Girls who don’t carry purses don’t carry make-up
and perfume. That’s what made Six so beautiful and perfect for him. I liked
that Six was as straight-forward as Daniel. Those two were so compatible in a
lot of ways. But was Six “Cinderella”?
I wondered.
There was a
good twist near the end. At times, it got a little too sappy with all the
romantic love, but it was an enjoyable story nonetheless. I was especially
impressed by how the author was able to accurately depict the thoughts of the
teenage male brain.
My rating: 4 stars
