Never date your best friend. The cliches, as listed above, were really funny. Most of them were some of the things I avoided in high school too, not that I swore to avoid them at all costs - I just never got around to doing any of them because I was always too busy reading. I really enjoyed watching Julia and Dave go through their list of cliches, even though it started out more as a joke for them than a die-hard mantra, but seeing how they experienced different events and how hard they tried to make some of those come true. that happened was really funny. Now, when I said earlier that the layout was a little strange, what I meant was the way the book was split into three separate Point of View turns. The first section of the book is told entirely from Dave's point of view, which I liked. The second half of the book is then told from Julia's point of view, and reading her thoughts made me sympathize with her more than seeing her through Dave's perspective – which, sadly, made me want to tear her hair out. The third section, and this is where I felt a little confused, is told through a combination of Dave and Julia's voices. One thing I have to say about this format, though, is that while I wasn't partially used to it, it was smart. At the beginning of the book both Dave and Julia are the same person, and I think giving them each a section to go through some sort of character arc before moving on to where they have a dual narrative gave
