This book reminded me so much of my time in middle school that it made me so happy. I loved the conflict between Grace and Noah. They went from strangers to neighbors hating each other. And from there, the pieces all fit. With an wacky beginning and an amazing lesson at the end, this book is a GREAT book for young adults.
The way Grace developed as a character was such an amazing flourish. Most of all I love how in the end she stood up against her mother and how she didn't become similar to her mother with relationships. Noah was not too far behind, he went from New York socialite to building a community center for kids like Leo, that just need a little extra attention or care. He went from being worried of being like his father, unable to keep a relationship, to wanting forever with Grace. Very amazing character development all the way with both Grace and Noah.
3.5 stars rounded up the little Presentation thing Noah did at the end was too cute
