This was my second Sarah Dessen book. I didn't like the first one I read (Along for the Ride) and even though this book had the same style to it, I enjoyed this one much better. I liked Remy. I think that is the only reason I liked the book. Okay, there was one other reason, the writing is very poetic. I like that too. But Remy. She's a tough chick and that is my absolute favorite type of character. Remy was a fighter until the end. What I liked so much is that she thought her behavior at the beginning of the book was strong, but when she realized it was actually weak, she changed her outlook so that she could once again be strong. This was a great read for me and I recommend it.
