It's the perfect summer read, and even now that summer's well over I still find myself cracking my copy open and rereading some parts. It's so light and fun and amazing! I love the list you made of why you love the book- it's so appropriate for this novel :)<br /><br />Here on the CEP, and now following!Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420339231681004915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-48270550716593240852010-10-26T05:49:37.136-04:002010-10-26T05:49:37.136-04:00oooh! this book sounds AMAZING! definitely adding...oooh! this book sounds AMAZING! definitely adding it to my TBR list!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18384554351353947602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-17410050718458451902010-10-25T18:12:31.540-04:002010-10-25T18:12:31.540-04:00I hope everyone gets a chance to read it soon! It...I hope everyone gets a chance to read it soon! It's such a good book!<br /><br />My favorite road trip memory? About five years ago my friend Hollie and I went to another state for a concert. On the way home we got SO LOST. We drove around for a little bit trying to figure it out on our own but that wasn't working. We pulled into a gas station to get gas and ask for directions. The guys were who working at the gas station seemed really nice and helpful. They wrote down directions and even drew us a map! We leave and start our journey home again. After awhile we're lost again. My friend and I just thought we missed a turn or something and we're trying to figure out where to go based on the map the guys drew us. Finally we're just aggravated so we found a cop and asked him for directions. We give the cop the directions and map the gas station guys made for us and the cop starts cracking up. Apparently the gas station guys were completely messing with us and gave us directions that didn't even exist (with made up street names) and drew the map to fit the completely wrong directions. The cop gave us correct directions and then we were on our way home...finally. It's hilarious now but when it happened we were so mad.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02672813820194476746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-38444617467469746582010-10-25T18:01:09.436-04:002010-10-25T18:01:09.436-04:00This sounds fantastic I must read it!

Roger has made it to the top of my faves list. I loved the music too, so I made some of the playlists on Grooveshark, where you can stream for free. And let me tell you, listening to his playlists adds SO much to the book. That boy is much more emo than you realize.
