I LOVED IT!

Review by PicklesQueen

How to Find What You are Looking for is by far my favorite book out of all the books I have ever read (and that's saying a lot.) It has so much depth and is so interesting! I was so sad to finish it.

How to find what you're not looking for

Review by ecoh

I really loved this book and enjoyed how all of the emotion the characters were feeling were displayed. While kind of sad, the book sad in some parts, it was an overall heart-warming book. I also love Leah and Raj and think they are just so cute. I'm holding a quiet grudge against their parents for how they reacted.

Review by rwctoo

This book is so lively and has a special magic to it. It isn't like any other historical book you would read. It has a page turning aspect. I like the setting, but it is one of those books that you have to read to get!
