Convince us to read the book: This book has spunk and humor, the characters where so well thought out and very original and I could envision them. The plot is also original, putting two people with the same name and their stories slowly intertwining together.
Compelling Aspect of the Book: The characters where for sure the most compelling aspect—definitely Tiny—this character is larger than life and you can imagine him being your best friend. The plot was original, not cheesy as I would have expected, and it really showed that there are many different types of love in a non cynical way.
Cover: The cover did tempt me to pick the book it was original and very catching to the eyes! I guess you could say that the cover reflected the book, but very indirect.
