I really enjoyed reading from the perspective of a character that is so vastly different than me. I think the conflict was realistic and I could comprehend the actions of every character. I loved that the book dealt with slow healing and involved but also flawed parents that had the grace to apologize when they messed up. Even a good teacher had some time to shine.
The two were very cute and I loved the way they learned to speak to each other.
The Ex is not a complete bitch in the end. I don't believe girls always have to be pitted against one another especially over a guy. I don't think her being this mean in the beginning and middle was necessary either, Mallory's struggling with standing up for herself could have been shown differently. But at least the aspect that they could still be friends was not an issue and cheating just not the typical drama.
