Exceptional

Reader reviewed by two sided freek

Taking me by surprise, this book isn't about happily ever afters. No, it isn't about perfect people or undented lives. It's about discovering who you are and what you believe in. True I never took a liking to Colleen, but she did serve an important part of Ben's keen realizations. What I loved is what Ben discovered about himself and the people surrounding him by his highschool documentary. A truly heartwarming book.
