*3.5 stars 
 This book was pretty much just as I was expecting based on the reviews I'd read and my own experience with Matson's previous books. It was pretty good, but not quite as good as some of her other books (I'm thinking of Second Chance Summer and Amy and Roger's). Which I think is really just a case of my expectations being way too high, as this book is a really enjoyable read. 
 The character development is really well done, not only with the main character but with the secondary characters too, as all of the plots and subplots are woven together perfectly to create a cohesive and beautiful book. What I love about Matson's books is that they are more than just fluff romance, they have some substance by adding in more plot lines than just the romance giving the whole story some real substance. And this book delivers. If you're looking for a book this summer to read in between those fluffy beach-read kind of books, something with a little something extra, than you should absolutely check out this book.
