What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen
5.0

Well, tbh, I'm having a Sarah Dessen marathon since the start of last week. So far, this is my fave. I just like how the way Mclean lives her life, I mean, I can truly understand all those different girls. Why she did that, pretty much smart enough. From all those different personas to coming back to her own self. I hated her mom too but I guess she's lucky enough to have a mom like her, one who truly cares for you, warts and all . And her dad, I've never been that close with my dad, that's why it makes me teary eyed reading those parts that they're together. How much she cares of him and him to her.

I like her relationship with Dave too and to all her friends, especially Heather, Riley and Deb. I mean, I didn't expect that Deb would still be part of the friend circle til the end. How Riley and Heather accepted her. Dave may not be one of the dreamy hot guys we want him to be but I like him, in his own nerdy-straight-forward-optimistic-good-guy kind of way. He may be too good for Mclean but then eventually, I realized that she deserves him, more than anyone. I like Dave and Riley's friendship too, I was expecting of some kind of a love triangle between the three of them but I was surprised that Im glad that they didn't.

Anyway, all in all, I learned that if we truly love a person, we have to accept them, warts and all , even if it's yourself. And yes, I want to have a same matching tattoo with my best friend too, even if how simple it looks. It doesn't really matter, the story behind it counts the most.
