I loved this book and read it as soon as I got home from the library! While the struggle and the outcome of Lily's romantic life were very predictable, it was the emotional truth which carried the story through. You became emotionally invested in the characters and kept turning the pages and cheering them on. 
 I wasn't aware when I started reading this that it was the beginning of a series. I'm excited to read the rest of the books! (I might even have to go back to the library tomorrow!)
