In general I enjoyed this book. It had a predictable plot, especially if you're a regular reader of Dessen's books, but nevertheless it was enjoyable. 
 However, there were times when I became extremely frustrated with Emaline and her actions. I was sick of the way she missed the obvious, how she sacrificed time with the people she cared about for someone who was clearly bad for her and then her complaining about it. Having said that, she wasn't a character I disliked and I could understand her choices even if I didn't agree with them. 
 I liked finding out about Clyde and his story, especially as he was a character I'd never really thought about when he was introduced in along for the ride. I also found Emaline's relationship with her brother a more positive aspect of the plot. 
 So I liked this book, it was fun and helped me pass the time, which is what I expected of it. I don't think it's as good as some of Dessen's other works, but it was still decent.
