I really like stories like this, it seems like a innocent child romance, but it actually has some depth put into it, which makes it seem more real. You get to watch these kids grow into the people they will be. Juli is such a free spirit, even though we do not see this right away as Bryce describes her in the first chapter. I really enjoyed her character. and Bryce starts developing an inner depth in himself as he grows older that represents a real struggle for the individual's own self awareness. Children are not the only people in this book that learned things, either, so do adults. And if you read it, you'll come to see things differently, yourself. Like, should you be honest or should you be polite? And what do appearances have to do with reality?
