Compare yourself to the main character in the novel.

I'm going to compare myself to August. She's had feelings for Ethan ever since they were little and wouldn't tell him. I grew up with a boy that I 'loved' and never told him! Once we got into high school, I still had feelings for him and we ended up dating. It didn't work out but it was a learning experience and it kind of connects to this book. August is also a very shy, calm, nice girl. I can be very shy and most of the time i'm pretty calm.

What do you like and not like about your book?

I'm reading Just Friends by Billy Taylor, and I found it on twitter. One thing I really enjoy about my book is that it is something teens run into every day. Ethan and August grew up together as neighbors, and they have always been friends. As they get older, she begins to have feelings for him but won't tell him. Her mom thinks he has feelings for her too, but he hasn't mentioned it either. One thing I don't like about this book is that there's so many other characters it's kind of confusing. It goes back and forth between August and Ethan I sometimes gets lost. Also, some chapters are set up in an email and to me it's confusing.
