3.5 stars. I liked Dave a lot. McLean was better than Ruby in Lock and Key, so there's that. I'm done with Sarah Dessen books for now. 
 P.S. How do all these girls and guys go to the same school and not a single one even knows of the other? Kinda wish we'd have a little more of a peek at previous people from other books other than the two sitting over there sharing an ipod and headphones.
