 This was a really cute and refreshing read. The characters and circumstances felt really real and honest. 
 I really enjoyed Sam's character. He felt like a real boy. His actions and reactions were realistic and true. 
 I did not feel the same about Ally. For some reason, her inner self did not come across as clearly as Sam's, which was odd considering this was all in first person narrative. I would have liked to have seen more clearly into her feelings, especially as they portrayed to Sam. I never really knew what was truly going on in her head, and in first person that should be fairly obvious. 
 Also, with as frank and as sexual as the dialogue was, I felt like the love scenes were a big let down. Not that I expected anything descriptive, I didn't. But they were all pretty much fade-to-black with not even really any of the build up present. This was a mature book, it seemed like the "mature" scenes didn't need to be completely left out. And bigger than "seeing" the subject of this entire book being played out, we don't even get a good grasp on how the characters are feeling about all this sex they're having. It's like it doesn't even matter. I mean (view spoiler)[ when Ally and San start having sex, why doesn't this seem like a big deal (at least to Ally). She doesn't seem to care at all. We don't see her really thinking about what this could mean to their lifelong friendship. She just wants him physically--along with other guys at the same time. All that just felt kind of...Blech...to me. It felt unrealistic. I needed more if the emotional stuff, because that was quite flat, to be honest. (hide spoiler)] 
 All in all, this was an enjoyable read. I would definitely recommend it to older teens and young adults.
