This is the first book I finished off of the Debut Author Challenge for this year (I know, slacking!) and I enjoyed it. The storyline reminded me of a Sarah Dessen book. Love the cover, beautiful choice. 
 I thought this book was going to be a romance story but not so much. Lots of heartbreak, loss and teenage angst. 
 I felt so bad throughout the book for Ari. I feel like she was always getting the short end of the stick but I guess that's what happens with your first love. Over the course of the book she went through a lot of heavy things and it was sad that she didn't really have anyone there to talk to since her friends were flakes. I think a lot of teenage girls can relate to this story. 
 The writing style was very easy to read and kept me wanting to read more throughout the book. 
 I feel like a mom when I say this but I thought the couple "scenes" in the book were very graphic by the way she described them. Not sure if I want to put this in my library at school.
