I wasn't entirely sure what to expect going into I'LL MEET YOU THERE; I actually thought it would be a road trip book. It's not a road trip book, and although I love those, I am not disappointed in the least because I really enjoyed this book and the story it told. 
 I'LL MEET YOU THERE hooked me right from the beginning as we are immediately are shown what a day in the life of Skylar is like. She is easy to relate to and understand because she feels just like a real person. All the characters do, as they each have their own personality and motives and traits. 
 All the well fleshed out characters made for a very immersive story. It was easy to begin to care for Skylar and Josh as well as feel their struggles. Once you fall in the love with the characters, the romance is really easy to root for. 
 My absolute favorite thing about this book is that it is so refreshingly honest and real. I can't stress that enough. The characters make mistakes and learn and grow from them, journeying through situations that we struggle with in real life as well. The book may be fiction, but the issues it addresses and the message it leaves you with are most definitely not. 
 Demetrios' writing makes you feel ALL THE EMOTIONS right alongside the characters. This is not a YA contemporary you'll want to miss.
