This book is not yet featured on Listopia. Saying that this book is excellent would be an understatement. It is one of my favourites and I can't even recall how many time I've read it since it is absolutely terrific and takes my mind off things! It's a wonderful story about a hopelessly in love teenager called Lewis who cannot master the courage to tell his best friend, Jubilee Marshfield, about his love for her.
His grandfather, Paps, and his other friend, Shoe, help him along the way — that is, until his grandfather dies from cancer. L Saying that this book is excellent would be an understatement. Lewis is a very lovable person and his theories are very inspirational - I even found myself noting down some of the theories to use them for my own life! The way he describes how he sees Jubilee is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen and his love for her is just pure. Paps is a very fun person to be around and I honestly feel terribly heart-broken when he dies.
Shoe is awesome in his own unique way and you just can't not love every bit of him. The best things about this book is how realistic everything seems and how it keeps me guessing what is going to happen next but then it turns out to be something completely different; it is very unpredictable. Baker Lawley is definitely a talented writer with his own flawless style that can never make you feel bored.
This book is unquestionably worth reading and I highly recommend it. Dec 01, Ayesha Fayyaz rated it really liked it Shelves: I have so much to write about this book because it is so close to my heart. The connection between characters is just fantastic. Generally, it's a wallflower thing: The opening was mind blowing. The true picture of a one-sided love where the lover is a wallflower. I appreciate Barker Lawley for writing emotions and thoughts of a wallflower so naturally.
I loved the firs I have so much to write about this book because it is so close to my heart. I loved the first few chapters. Why did i give 4 stars? Because it got somewhat slow pace and boring afterwards. I was also not expecting that ending. I mean the author didn't mention the feelings of Jubilee; Did she consider him even a little in love sense?
OR Did she simply kissed him without knowing her feelings? It was simply vague, that's all i can say. It's a theory thing. Maybe the thing about being in love with your best friend is that you're best friends, and you can be yourself, but you want to not be yourself.
You want to be the guy she will fall for, the guy she tells you about. You want to be somebody else different than you,better than than you.

But when Paps suddenly dies and leaves in his will a most mysterious task for Lewis, he must find a way to follow through. I would suggest this story to all the people I know. They make, not break, this book! And along the way, he discovers the secrets of stories, the courage to say what he feels, and a whole new meaning to the word "acting.
I have this theory that we spent our whole lives in helmets and kneepads anytime anything was slightly dangerous,so now we think the world ends anytime we get hurt any little bit. I have this theory that words can't do anything right, because i can't say the things that i think about her.
Jul 02, Liz rated it it was amazing. I had been thinking recently about a book that had some aspects of love and heartbreak in it but written by a man. Women tend to write a lot of romance novels and to be honest- it's all becoming kind of old. Now, I didn't go searching for a male author who writes a bit of romance into a book. I actually joined up in Wattpad and just accidentally came across this book and decided to give it a go. I'm so happy I did.
I laughed and cried This is such a brilliant book of life, theories, actions an I had been thinking recently about a book that had some aspects of love and heartbreak in it but written by a man. This is such a brilliant book of life, theories, actions and love.
