When I saw this at Barnes & Noble, I bought it right away. I didn't look at the reviews, summary, excerpt, price, or whatever. I just saw "SARAH DESSEN" and I bought it, went home, and read it right away.
I. HAVE. NO. REGRETS. This book was awesome, as expected of Sarah Dessen, whom I absolutely LOVE.

I’m not generally a big fan of books like this. I have a hard time getting into them and it’s usually for good reason. I had just as hard a time getting into this one and really struggled to get through it. Objectively it is a fairly good book. The character development wasn’t bad and the overall plot was there. It wasn’t until about the last 60 pages that I really started to enjoy it. It definitely left a satisfying and hopeful taste to end.

I loved this book! I enjoyed the humor between William and Natalie - it was a great escape.
Sarah is a great Author. Some of her work really loves me but this one bordered On too cheesy and too boring. Maybe I’m just too old for her work now?
had to read the word "epic" too many times for something released in 2017.
I loved Sarah Dessen’s books when I was younger and even after all this time, that has not changed. She will forever be my go to for young adult novels with a touch of romance. This one should definitely have a bit of a trigger warning in my opinion. I was not expecting the mention of school shootings and it was a major theme in this particular book so please be aware before picking it up. Luckily, I have no personal close trauma with this subject so it didn’t stop me from finishing this book. Several moving love stories in one novel wrapped up in an adorable world of weddings, which I also love. Heart breaking loss as well, but all of it touched on so well. Loved this book.
I was pleasantly surprised in how much I liked this book. When I first picked it up I didn't think it was going to be as good as some of Sarah Dessen's other books, but I'm glad to say I was wrong. This book definitely moved up the list of my favorite Sarah books. I strongly recommend this. It's a great read!!

Still one of my favorite Sarah Dessen books, even though I don’t think I’m her audience anymore. It kills me that Ambrose was so entitled and annoying but also so endearing.
