The book cover fooled me. 
 Utterly disappointing. 
 I can't say that everybody Arden loves doesn't give back the love she gives when her mother worked so hard on that dress she "really" wanted and then, after Arden realizes it looked old she leaves it behind to buy another dress and does not tell her mother any of these sudden changes...only to reveal it on the day of the party itself, AND SHE ONLY DID IT BECAUSE SHE GOT CORNERED. Leaving her mother heartbroken and full of it. When she could've just talked to her in the first place and told her the damn truth like the ~loving and caring~ person she is. 
 The pacing was slow and Arden's "loyalty" towards her best friend was just as agonizing. 
 I just had to stop and close the book. 
 I'm still going to read Leila Sales' other book though. This Song Will Save Your Life.
