** spoiler alert ** 
 I really loved this book ^_^ but I have to admit, I hated reading Sophie's parts. I know I should empathize with her because she really wanted to achieve her goals. However, that was difficult. Maybe it's the way I'm raised that I believe that being famous and having money isn't everything. What Emme has is - which is friends - and what Carter has for support - family. I thought Ethan was a little blah initially since he cheated and I don't like that aspect but I can see why he did what he did. All he wanted was attention from that girl who didn't really give him any. 
 Towards the middle, I felt like I relived my own drama through this book because in a way, I was like Emme once and someone was like Sophie to me. They always believed that whatever they said was right while I just took it and tried to be friends. Like in the book, it certainly did not end well. 
 Even the ending was similar to my senior year of highschool where a guy confessed and he utterly ignored me for 2-3 months. I can really empathize with both of them now since I knew what it was like to feel invisible and how much I hated myself for not being able to see it earlier in myself. I'm glad that the book had a happy ending though ^_^ <3
