III.
A. I really liked the book because its like a love story but in a different way like than the typical ones, this story doesn’t have only romance, it has action, kind of comedy, and it keeps you very interested that you have to read and read because you really want to know what is going to happen after.

B. Something that I learned from the book was that no matter howdifferent are 2 persons, if they liked each other you can make it work.
Or in other cases if you like something that you think you cant have it or earned it, you have to be perseverant to have what you want to matter how much you need to fight for it.

C. I would recommend the book especially to women, because it’s mostly a love story and not all the men like that kind of stories.
