I think based on the synopsis, I was expecting something different. Whoever wrote that is painting a more whimsical and charming story than what you get. The book wasn't bad, just not great. I honestly thought I was going to get some kind of self-discovery adventure with the main character visiting a new place and all that. More than half of the book is of Arden dealing with the people in her life and all their antics. You get a lot of everyone else, and not nearly enough of what's going on with Arden. That girl is definitely loyal to a fault, and while I can admire that about her, I didn't like how she let it take over her life. I didn't really connect with her all that much. Also, the other characters really bugged me. I didn't like any of them, and I especially hated Arden's mother. I understood her perspective and sympathized, but I didn't like how she handled it at all and it kind of irritated me how her family handled it all. 
 I have to point out, I completely hated Peter. What a self-absorbed, clueless, back-stabbing liar! Oh, the things that boy did made me want to slap him upside the head. I could see how people would be mesmerized by what he wrote in his blog, that was certainly my favorite parts of the book, and think that was reality, but Arden took it too far and I just couldn't believe how naive and dense she was when it came to him. 
 As far as writing style goes, I enjoy Leila's. She keeps me engaged and flipping the pages despite my not being a fan of the characters or the story in general. I guess that's why I can say that I still somewhat enjoyed the book as a whole. I think you need to go into this blind if you don't want to be disappointed or left feeling cheated. Also, don't expect a sweet kind of love story, this is anything but that. I definitely enjoyed Leila's This Song Will Save Your Life more so than this one.
