The ending felt abrupt, but I really liked the entire journey of getting there. Parts of the past recounts with Ethan were confusing at first, but I fell into a groove with it all. I highly recommend this Sarah Dessen book. It has great talking points about what dating, relationships, and love should be. There is the shock of how the news of a school shooting resonates with people, but that is sadly a part of our lives in the US now.
Picked this one up for the nostalgia (so many SD novels in middle/high school. I got what I came for.

For a book with very little plot and dumb, shallow characters, I ate this up. Moral of the story, Ethan Caruso has my whole heart. Best character of the book. That’s all.

This was an descent book. I didn’t love it. Or hate it. The ending seemed kind of a rush. I would have liked an epilogue or something.
Siempre me han gustado los libros de Sarah Dessen, pero este me decepcionó mucho. Todo muy forzado, no se sentía real, ni siquiera sentí conexión entre los personajes, así que mucho menos me conecté con ellos. Creo que la idea de la historia estaba bien, se sentía que podía ser algo bueno, pero al final... había mucho que desear.

Spoiler
por más que uno quiera que los personajes estén juntos, lo que hizo Louna no se hace, dejar a Ben así no se hace. Ni siquiera le agradeció bien el regalo, su presencia o todo lo que hizo por ella, que lo haya dejado solo y luego regresar con otro chamo no se justifica ni porque esté garantizado que es el amor de su vida. A mi parecer eso se ganó la corona de "Cosas Forzadas en Once and for All."
I should be too old to be reading Sarah Dessen books but well, apparently I can’t stay away. This one was fine. I listened to the audiobook.
