Though with that, I must say it was a little underwhelming. I should have known as simple YA romances just don't really hot the same anymore for me. It wasn't bad necessarily, just a little clunky and repetitive at times. I think if this book had come out seven years ago I would have loved it a lot more. For me it's just a little too late to be reading this.
It's a debut novel and it very much feels like a debut novel in YA. It was... Fine I guess.

This was an easy read even though some subjects in the book were heavy (like suicide and drugs). I didn't really find most of the characters likeable and I wasn't really rooting for Coley and Sonya to get together. I mostly felt bad for Coley and her dad, and was happy they figured out how to start being a family. I liked Coley's development but no one else seemed to have much.
