Summary:
Charlie Hanson has a clear vision of his future. A senior at Brighton School of Mathematics and Science, he knows he'll graduate, go to MIT, and inevitably discover solutions to the universe's greatest unanswered questions. He's that smart. But Charlie's future blurs the moment he reaches out to touch the tattoo on a beautiful girl's neck.
The future has never seemed very kind to Charlotte Finch, so she's counting on the present. She's not impressed by the strange boy at the donut shop--until she learns he's a student at Brighton where her sister has just taken a job as the English teacher. With her encouragement, Charlie orchestrates the most effective prank campaign in Brighton history. But, in doing so, he puts his own future in jeopardy.
By the time he learns she's ill--and that the pranks were a way to distract Ms. Finch from Charlotte's illness--Charlotte's gravitational pull is too great to overcome. Soon he must choose between the familiar formulas he's always relied on or the girl he's falling for (at far more than 32 feet per second squared).
My Honest Review:
The beginning to around the middle of this book was really slow for me. It was hard for me to get into.
Take whatever you think you know about this book and forget it. This book was ridiculously good. If you think you know what this story is about your probably wrong. I wasn't expecting much depth to this story. But this book is really deep. It really delves into a certain topic. It was just so good.
I just need to talk about this ending. Throughout the book your hoping something isn't going to happen but when it does happen it rips you into 2 pieces. By the ending your just crying your eyes out. Your going to fall in love with these characters by the end and its just going to rip you up and tear you into pieces. Its just THAT amazing.
I loved her tattoo. Infinity Hope How they incorporated into the cover. I just loved it. The cover and dust jacket is just what drew me into the story. I am just so happy I got to read this story.
I loved the sweet romance to the story. It wasn't what you expected. It was just a fall in love high school romance. Full of emotions and just so sweet.
Please read this story. Its just an emotional rollercoaster. That you will love. The depth to this book is very unexpected. This is definately a must read story. That every teenager and YA fan will LOVE.

Quotes:
“Please don't confuse love and logic ... They aren't even remotely related.”
“I'll either find a way or make one.”
“Charlotte
told me that afternoon. It sucked, but we weren’t as close then, so it
didn’t suck as much. I didn’t know then, you know?”
“Know what?”
“What it meant to have a friend—that having a friend would
change me, make me a better person—make me more real. How
was I to know?”
“The thought of kissing Charlotte again makes me feel like I’m being sucked away into the vacuum of space. Which, if you’re wondering, is painful and scary and leaves me almost breathless.”
