Ugh. Just ugh. Did I mention UGH?! I mean, honestly. Why, oh why, all who care, WHY? This book ended so abruptly like those songs on the radio that seem like they're just about to get somewhere major and then END. This book was so good, the kind of book you just always want to read so you can figure out what happens. But the end was abrupt, no conclusion. I DEMAND A SEQUEL. This book sucks you in and then sikes you out. At the end of the last chapter, I was like...."WHY" i mean, there was so much build up. Don't get me wrong, this book was good. But it was so terriiiibbbllyyy good that when it ends, I couldn't quite move on. It make it worse that there was also not really a conclusion. You should read this book, but be prepared for it to rip your heart out.

I read this book when I was a teen and for a YA it's so good. It's light-hearted, funny and has all the elements of a teen romance. If I want to read a comfort book I know I love, this is the one.

the main character is kinda annoying
also it's written like she's telling a story from her past and not really in a good way
but the story's pretty good and i read it in one day so it can't be too bad

Completely predictable to the point of being another annoying teen read. Girl likes boy, boy dates girls best friend, boy cheats on girls best friend with girl. Probably not the story you want to be romanticizing. I started reading it a long time ago and put it down because I couldn't handle how absurd the plot was, finished it because I have a hard time leaving books unfinished. Not worth reading again.

This is such a realistic book. I'm sure hundreds of girls go through a similar situation every year: your best friend dates a guy and after they break up, you start dating him (or at least liking him and agonizing over what to do). It wasn't my favorite book of all time, but pretty good.
