This was probably one of my favorite Sarah Dessen books. It started out absolutely amazing and was perfect for summer. I think this was probably the funniest book of Dessen's out of all of them and I absolutely loved the characters (especially all of the boys in the band, but I loved her group of girlfriends as well). The dialogue was as realistic as it was funny. Like, I loved every single one of them. The thing I love about Sarah Dessen books is that I feel like she does a really good job balancing the lighter humorous aspects and the heavy important issues. The only bad thing about this book was that it kind of slowed significantly at the half way point.
