yeppenny's review against another edition
3.0
Full of warm fuzzies, this book contains a lot of feel-good moments and connections between characters. Gideon embodies that classic, lovable, “golden retriever” personality type — we all want a Gideon in our lives.
Otherwise, the book could have used stronger plot points earlier on: 50% in and we were still thick in exposition, nowhere near rising action. It started getting interesting around the 75% mark.

Just lovely. Nothing spectacular, but it’s rare that a light YA contemporary portrays realistic, multidimensional teens without it devolving into melodrama or absurdity. Emma Mills always keeps it poignant, heartwarming, and frank, with friendship emphasized just as much as romance.

This was such an adorable book! I don't pick up contemporary often, but I'm so glad I did this time. This is one of the first times I absolutely adored a main character. Claude knew when and where to wield her sarcasm and wit. All the characters were wholly themselves, they all stayed true to their character through all obstacles. I will definitely try more of Emma Mills books.
