This actually surprised me more than I thought it would. The summary makes WITWT sound fairly vanilla, like a story I've read a lot, but it actually has a surprising amount of depth and the family complexities were better developed than in My Life Next Door, the author's first book. This is lighter on the romance than in MLND, but it's still pretty sweet. There's also a lot of interesting discussion of gender roles, sex and big lifey things that are really current. I'd recommend this to fans of Jennifer Echols' contemporary YA novels, particularly.
