Despite the main characters' appeal, especially Bianca who is as cynic as I am, and although I liked the story a lot, I found myself getting annoying by the plot. The dramatic story line develops well, but is resolved too easy to be realistic. (view spoiler)[Two major points in this story annoyed me for the ease they get solved: one, it's her father's relapse in alcoholism. A slap, a punch, one night out and voila, her father is himself again. Normally it takes a little bit more. The other, it's her best friend's anger at her when she begins to avoid her. One phone call, one confession and we're BFFs again without not even a shout. Probably my friends wouldn't be that understanding fO.o (hide spoiler)] 
 What I found very refreshing it was the amount of sex talk you find in the book. It was bold, but the approach was very natural. What I don't know is how the target of this book would react to the mention of oral sex xDDD 
 Anyway, I enjoyed the book and considering the writer was the age of her heroine at that time I think she achieved a lot. 
 My favourite part of the book: Bianca and Wesley's conversation at her home when he goes to visit her b/c he's worried *___* Oh, and the letter, not very realistic but super cute :)
