what a nice book that i will never read again. did everyone try the chicken? i thought the chicken was lovely. (marcus fucking sucks. he just does. i would refuse to forgive him, and i wouldn’t date anyone who couldn’t bear to cut him off … yes, i still have grudges against people who wronged me in middle school, why?)

Nice easy read. Slight cliche that Dylan is the 'rich-troubled kid' with the spoilt 'boo hoo daddy cut me off' friend who falls in love with the 'poor working class' girl, but once you get over that it is a sweet story. Interesting story telling from both Dylan and Addie's both of view from both 'then' and 'now'. Predicatable ending but ideal summer holiday read.
