I almost gave up on this book a few times. It was LONG. I didn't start to really get into it until about 200-250 pages in. There were a lot of details and situations at the beginning that could have been shortened and still added to the plot where it was needed. Andie drove me crazy in the beginning, but she grew on me a little towards the end. I mostly kept reading because of Tark. Tom and Clark were my favorite characters, and I wanted more of them throughout the book. I also really enjoyed the relationship that developed between Andie and her Dad. 
 I have to say, I'm kind of surprised that this book was one of the Goodreads Choice Awards nominee. It didn't really stand out for me. Overall, I appreciated the story arc, the progression of Andie, but I think I would have enjoyed it more from Clark's perspective.
