So many reasons this one is my favorite. My first read of this happened during my summer before college too. I remember reading it and relating a lot to every character and feeling. I love Auden's character growth throughout the story because it feels natural and happens at a reasonable pace. Her parents were pretentious and frustrating, but luckily worked to change that too. I loved the romance (Eli forever) and the friendships. Everything about this one just gets me :')
