Once and for All by Sarah Dessen
4.0

Dessen was one of my favourite authors in high school, and there are several titles of her's that I still consider some of my favourite YA contemporaries. Interestingly, I felt the best part of this book was not the romance (which I was pretty meh on, honestly) however the side characters (Deborah and William in particular) and the whole plot surrounding the weddings were really, really fun. It was nice to see parental figures who are good influences mostly and try to be great parents and are very present in their child's lives, which I feel like we don't see enough of.

So while not my favourite Dessen book, I really enjoyed lots of it, and I will still continue to read whatever she writes.
