I really liked this book, but did not absolutely adore it as others have. While I very much appreciated it as a whole (the loving family, the perfectly imperfect community, the casual yet fully supportive representation of gay marriage, the beautifully structured plot, most of the humor…) some of the events (particularly in the beginning of the book) seemed so exaggerated that I just could not believe them, and for me, that is a problem when reading realistic fiction. But with all of that being said, I’m an adult and this book was written for kids and I can totally see them adoring it, so in my mind, it’s a winner regardless of my issues with it. Plus I completely teared up at the end from loving the love so much. Ok… so maybe I really, REALLY liked it.
