It’s not that this book was BAD, it just also wasn’t very good. The first half of the book was very slow and then the end and the “getting together” was so rushed and we hardly got to see the love interest’s reaction. Romance books don’t all have to be dual POV but I would have at least liked to see Ambrose explain why he liked Louna so much from the beginning, I can’t believe in the love story when it doesn’t seem to have a strong reasoning and foundation.
I love Sarah Dessen and I have read her for ages. It’s even better that she’s living in NC because let’s be real, Best state in the union. This book wasn’t my favorite that she’s ever written but I did enjoy the ending a lot more than I anticipated.

I actually waited till a month before the release to post this review. Applaud me for following the rules ;)
My first and only experience with Sarah Dessen's writing until now happened four years ago. I borrowed Someone Like You translated into Macedonian from the library, and I swore I'd never read another translation again. That experience threw me off reading Dessen too.
But this book introduced me again to her writing, and this time the right way. And don't worry, I'm gonna keep it short, bleak and spoiler free as I tend to do.
I'm not gonna comment on my favorite topic: the writing style. There's a reason why Mrs. Dessen is one of the most famous authors out there today. My main focus, even while I was reading, were the plot and the characters.
I really loved the story and the setting it was in. It was well-executed, well-presented and very fun to read. It seemed, and this is going to sound odd (it is to me too because I have little experience with synesthesia) but I saw it like spring, in blue and beige pastels.
I enjoyed the characters too. Louna was beautifully written and her development was the main point of the story. For the first time in a while I actually enjoyed having the romance part of the story slightly in the background.
It's a great book, and I'm glad I got the chance to read it and write this review before it's release.
Copy received through NetGalley. Huge thanks to Penguin Group for granting me the wish!!
