"It was supposed to be the best week of my life, but then everything went terribly wrong. Actually, things had gone terribly wrong long before that, but no one had bothered to notice."
This was an easy, low-stakes, YA read that I read in a day. It's certainly nothing earth shattering, but it kept my interest and didn't try to do too much. I will say, I'm personally kind of over the straight-laced-boy-meets-manic-mysterious-girl-and-second-guesses-everything-about-himself trope, but other than that the story was pretty cute, and it had a good balance of humorous and heartfelt moments.
