Sarah Dessen is an auto buy author of mine, I personally love all of her books. For me, this one is right up there with This Lullaby. I would recommend this to many people and I would happily reread it.

I first read this book back when I was in high school, but I've reread it so many times since then I've lost track of the actual number of times I've read it. I fell in love with it instantly as a teen, and even though I'm well past the targeted age group as a twenty-something, I found that Macy's story still grips my heart and speaks to me deeply.
I'll keep it short and sweet since this is a reread. The best way I can sum up this story is by saying that it's just so full of heart. From the sweet friendships that Macy develops through Wish to the Truths Macy and Wes share with each other, we get to see Macy grapple with her past and truly come into her own in a beautiful way. I laughed, I cried, and felt all the nostalgia as I fell in love with this story all over again. I can't recommend this book enough!
