I'm not entirely sure what I thought of this book. I was very excited to start reading it, but it was a little disappointing. 
 Among the things I liked were the writing style, which is generally just good; the awesome best friend, Tessa; and most of the issues dealt with. Somehow, though, I wasn't a big fan of the execution of the story as a whole. 
 Wren is a likable character with realistic issues, mainly her parents expecting all kinds of things from her and her wanting to live up to those expectations, which I think most readers can understand. Charlie's issues are pretty interesting, too - a foster kid afraid of growing too attached to people because of all the things that have happened to him in his past. Unfortunately, neither of these characters' family troubles were fleshed out. They were there in the background, but they were never really resolved and the family members remained rather flat as characters. 
 The whole Starrla thing could have made an interesting plot point as well, but it didn't. Mostly it was simply Charlie wanting to help her (which is understandable and noble, in my opinion) and Wren getting upset over it (which I can also understand, to some degree). I thought there would be this big climax near the end, because it was building up to that nicely, but what happened then was just... weird. I won't give any spoilers there, but it wasn't what I had expected or hoped it to be and I didn't quite understand what it was all about. 
 Wren and Charlie, like every couple, have their fights and problems. Their romance is sweet and nice to read about, but also messy at times, which makes it more believable. However, the fact that most of these fights and problems are due to lack of communication annoyed me. Wren and Charlie withheld things from another for no real reason (no reason I could see, anyway). Wren got upset a few times over things that happened, which I can completely understand and would probably be upset about, too; but instead of talking it out and listening to Charlie's version of things, she just ignored him. Not once did she tell him what was on her mind or what exactly was bothering her. Especially after all Charlie went through (even if Wren didn't know everything, she knew enough), that is no way to treat a person, no matter how upset you are with him or her. 
 I feel like there wasn't really a story there. I still gave three stars because it was an enjoyable read despite all of its flaws, but I don't feel like anything significant really happened over the course of the book other than Wren and Charlie falling in love. Near the end, some things started happening that could have propelled the story into action, but then it just... ended. The ending felt sudden and strange and left me quite dissatisfied. 
 I've read some of Lauren Myracle's short stories before and liked them a lot, so I had expected more of this book. It's a shame, because more could have been done with the ideas behind it. I didn't mind reading it, but I wouldn't read it again.
