I did like the slow burn of friendship before romance! :) Reminded me a little of the day to day of Dessen's books where the story may not be fast-moving and plot-heavy but is still lovely to read.

I can't wait to read what she writes next as well! Thanks for visiting, Christina!

The book didn't remind me of John Green (mainly because the characters sounded like real teenagers rather than what I think of as John Green's version of teenagers) but I loved the friendships and Paige's relationship with Max and her grandmother. I can't wait to read what she writes next!<br /><br />Fantastic review!Christina Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756342293865115352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244224993534617084.post-71218272945250797442015-05-11T21:13:58.840-04:002015-05-11T21:13:58.840-04:00That stinks!

I really love books that explore friendship and family relationship dynamics so this one is definitely a book I'm planning on getting.Tammy (The Book Fairy's Haven)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14199128133219847316noreply@blogger.com
