I didn't know anything.
I didn't know it was going to be funny. On the very first page.
I didn't know that there were going to be nerds playing Dungeons & Dragons, and girlfriends emailing each other, and bad breakups, and marital drama, and a boy still living with his mom, and sadness, and uncertainty.
I didn't know you could write a romantic comedy from the guy's point of view. And it work. Who does that?
I didn't know it was going to be a cross between Bridget Jones meets a Friends episode.
I didn't know I would be so happy that I'd read Eleanor and Park first, because I would have assumed that it was going to be Ha Ha Funny, when it clearly was not. Whew.
I didn't know that Rainbow Rowell could write two totally and completely different books, but yet nail the relationships in both. Absolutely perfectly.
I didn't know I was going to love everything about this book. Everything.
I didn't know what I was missing.
