Sarah Dessen is the queen of summer reads that make you feel lots of things. This book was definitely a "right place, right time" sort of book for me, I don't know if I would have enjoyed it as much as I did if I hadn't been in the mood for just this type of book. There's nothing wrong with it, exactly, but it's also not the best book from Dessen either. There is a lot going on and things get messy but I suppose that's just life. I really like that all of the conversations and relationships feel realistic and not cheesy- so even when you know the guy and the girl are meant for each other, it never moves quicker than it would in real life. I think that's Dessen's greatest strength- her ability to write characters and dialogue that make sense and feel like something I would say myself. 
 If you like Sarah Dessen, you'll most likely enjoy this. If you're looking for a quick summertime read, you'll like this. If you want a really profound story, eh, this probably isn't your book.
