I originally read this in middle school. I’m downgrading a star because man, Landon sucks more than I remember! Landon, whose main hobby appears to be eating boiled peanuts in the graveyard (seriously, he mentions this like 10 times!), is just so self-centered and vain. And I get that he’s supposed to meet Jamie and be a changed man, but he’s like that throughout the entire book. Late-night-peanut-eating Landon’s inner monologue is just so cringy sometimes. Once I got past that though, I found the love story is still sweet (if not a bit sappy), and Jamie is still a sweetheart (though it's hard to believe she's a real person because she's so perfect). The ending is a little manipulative, but I knew what was coming. Overall, I’d call it okay. At least it was a super quick read!
