Ratings and reviews

teen romances aren't my cup of tea but it was a nice enough story; best thing about it for me was the cover artwork. loved that textured denim look against the flowers.

I just love this book. Very enchanting... It's definitely must read

It is a young adult book. But overall it is awesome and totally amazing. Must read.
