There are some twists and turns in this novel that make the reader wonder whether Wes and Macy should really be together or not. You'll just have to read it to find out! =DRead full review
I stumbled upon Sarah Dessen while I was in ninth grade-almost five years ago. Sarah Dessen is an extraordinary author. She has a supreme talent in the way that she writes--she draws you into the novel and makes you feel like you are the narrator (in this case, Macy), and you know everyone introduced to you. I read this book in two days and as soon as I finished it, I turned back to the first page and started all over again. Macy lives in a restricted world--her mother is an uptight real estate agent, her brainiac boyfriend leaves her over the summer while he participates in a "Brain Camp", and Macy's older sister has been able to escape the life that Macy is stuck in. Macy meets an eccentric group of people from a catering company, and they sort of adopt Macy into their lives. Macy is able to be free when she's with them (including the guy that captivates her, Wes). This book is very real and readers can relate to the situations, which says something about the author as no one is able to accomplish this goal. 5/5.Read full review
This, in my opinion, is one of Dessen's best books. Trust me. You'll love it!
