Best part of story, including ending:
I loved this story because the characters were so unique and interesting. It isn't the typical everyday teen romance.
Best scene in story:
My favorite scene was probably at the end. After splitting up with Annabelle, Elvis attempts to hang himself in the attic. The wind blows the shutters open and he sees that an entire field of sunflowers that he had planed with Annabelle have bloomed.
Opinion about the main character:
I love the main character, Elvis, because he's so family oriented. He's working so hard to protect his dad, try to do his dad's work and not let anyone find out that he has dementia.
