I liked it a lot, but I don't think it's a book for everyone. If the synopsis and type of book appeals to you though, I'd recommend it.

I saw the romantic and emotionally charged movie trailer and it looked potentially hart breaking story so I guess the book can't be any easier on emotions... I'll probably stay away.
