While I was skeptical in the beginning because of Sam’s personality, it got way better and picked up quickly. The character development in this book is like no other, and

good on Sam for getting rid of Rob, he sucked and Kent is so much better.

The ending??? Amazing.

I found the depth of the relationships to be of particular interests simply because it delved into the complexities that often come with developing increasingly adult relationships as we move through high school and the effect of these relationships beyond just ourselves, but also on others.
