 I don't know what the deal about this book is but it seems as if many hated it. But strangely, I didn't hate it. It was okay. Not bad, but also not something that blew my mind away, you know. Just the weird grey space between "Ooooh, this is amazing." and "Oh my god. This. Is. The. Worst." The 1-star ratings in GoodReads just made me want to read it more so that I would know what the deal with this is. I still don't understand the hate. Okay, I do. A little. 
 I LOVED the fact that the main character is a Chinese girl. It's not everyday that I read a book with a main character that's non-White. The angle of her character seems very interesting, too, I must say. A Chinese-born adopted by an American couple who grew up to doubt the love her adoptive parents got her? Uhm, yes please. But I do hope they played on the drama of her being adopted more because I was really into that side of the story. 
 Also, I think it could have been better if the authors played more on the little clique that they had (with Diana, Jenny, Tracy and Chip) instead of just Justin and Emmy. Emmy's story was interesting...Justin's was too generic. (OH MY GOD DON'T HATE ME) The various emotional issues of the supporting characters were really interesting. The angle on a school for therapy is really interesting, too. So, I'm really sorry that the authors decided to play more on the romance between the two main characters. I don't know if I'm just single AF, but the lovey-dovey stuff made me want to retch a little. I'm not even kidding. Okay, I am kidding. A little. 
 Basically, there were so many good stuff to write about. The story. The characters. The interesting angles on the story. But they chose to write about the typical teen "romance". Sure, sure. 
 3 of 5. Not remarkable, but not THAT bad either. 
 Do I recommend it? Meh.
