I thought this book was generally good and I liked the adventure that the characters went on. The plot is nice and concise and the writing keeps you interested as you go through it. I really liked the honesty and the integrity of the characters in the book and I also related very much to the style of writing which reflected a teenage way of thinking.
I also really enjoyed the complications of relationships that was presented in this book. I thought that the exploration of a scenario which involved two ex's and a new partner of one of the ex's was really well explored and grappled with the complexity of emotion that that brings really well. I feel as though it would have been more interesting to see the story told from the other ex's point of view as well to see that depth of emotion more.
Overall, it was a good read and I would recommend, but I probably wouldn't read it again.
