This story starts off with 2nd grader Julianna Baker falling head over heals for her new neighbor, Bryce Loski.............
But while Julianna is crazy for her new fellow classmate, Bryce is horrified of this insanely annoying girl with a huge crush on him. Now here they are in the 8th grade, Julianna still crazy in love and Bryce still trying to run away from her every chance he gets. In their last year of middle school together Julianna is loving it! She gets to talk to Bryce (whenever he’s not hiding from her), gets to help him with his work, and gets to sniff his hair all she wants. But on the other hand Bryce can’t stand another minute with her. She never leaves him alone and weirdest of all, she won’t stop sniffing his head! But just as Julianna thought middle school with Bryce couldn’t get any better, she starts realizing what type of person he really is, while Bryce begins to realize maybe Julianna isn’t so bad after all…
This book was really cute, and I personally thought it was a super easy reader! I would recommend this for 6th grade and up or for anyone who is in the mood for a story about young first love. It has mild-swearing, but nothing close to being inappropriate. This was just over all a really enjoyable book.
P.S. Can’t wait for the movie to come out! =D
