It's easy to get hooked with John's tale of love intertwined with his search for identity. There aren't too many complex sentences or tough language to get lost in, and the plot isn't all that complicated either. The trickiest thing, actually, is the subject matter. There's a reason Facebook has an "it's complicated" relationship setting, and it seems like no matter what John does, his love life is never smooth sailing. You'll be able to follow right along, though. And hey—all's fair in love and war, right? Well, we'll let you decide that one for yourselves.
