Was reminded of this book and picked it from my bookshelf. Read it in one sitting. Expecially the beginning remains captivating and witty. I observed that my reception of the characters changed, compared to my last reading (this was my third time): I now see more flaws and immaturity, but I also comprehend the complex conundrum of longing, life-altering decisions, loyalty and authenticity better than my teenage self. I really like this book.
