Changes

Although I was sucked into the story, its use of clichés and melodramatic, angst-ridden scenarios were definitely overdone, and occasionally tiresome. Perhaps it's because the main idea behind the story is so familiar, but personally I was expecting more from the ending – it seemed to fall a little flat at the pinnacle point, and the last few chapters seemed hurried and too perfect considering the characters' rocky start. Saying that, it captures that rush of feelings associated with first love nicely, and it certainly has more than one, ''Aww!'' moment for those who like a happy ending.

If you liked this, I'd recommend [[Double Cross (Noughts & Crosses) by Malorie Blackman]] – it's equally tense and emotionally complicated, where romance is challenged in a far-from-perfect world. You might also enjoy [[Chain Reaction (Perfect Chemistry) by Simone Elkeles]].
