Julianna Baker is officially one of my favorite female characters in all of young adult literature. I thought she would be horrible and annoying, but I adored her and her love of nature, her love of her family, and her love in general. Same thing with Bryce, who started off being a little whiny and annoying but turned out incredible. This is a great coming-of-age story, a great romantic comedy, and a great book in general.
