I'm a fan of Sarah Dessen, but I didn't care for this one much. I think it comes down to the premise being a little weak, or not fleshed out in a way that was satisfying. Even though I understood the reason for Mclean's issues, it didn't seem realistic that she would react so extremely, from the different identities to her reactions to events toward the end of the book. And there were some cliches that were just too much - "Home wasn't a set house, or a single town on a map. It was wherever the people who loved you were, etc." But it appears this book is as popular as her others, so maybe I'm just getting too old and critical. No, actually, I just don't think this is one of her better books. I liked all the talk of basketball and food though.
