I like revisiting Sarah Dessen's book every so often. It's comforting. The plots are a little predictable, but that's part of the charm. This isn't my favorite one, but it's very easy to connect with her characters, and Macy is no exception. The book touches on some heavy things - grief mostly, but also her controlling parent, the desire to be perfect - but it's mostly fun and easy to read. Looking back, I remembered that there was more to Wes and Macy's relationship, but now it seems like it could use more development - as it is, he seems a little blank as a character. Perfect, super hot, and understanding, despite his "dark past." I could use a little more. Still it's a fun quick summer read to revisit.
