I was disappointed by the last Dessen book I read, but I was holding on hope because I still love her writing–sometimes the book just isn’t a good fit for me, though, and unfortunately, this book and I did not click. Despite my conservative views, I don’t have problems with reading books about teen ...
This is my least favorite Dessen books so far. It has the central conflict of a teenage girl and her parents, which was fine, and handled well, I think.

Not one of Sarah Dessen's best but a bittwersweet coming of age tale of two teenage girls as they encounter the harsh truths of reality for the first time and learn a valuable lesson or two about men.
