This is an excellent book. I would get ready to put it down after an hour or so of reading it and i just wouldn't be able to! Something interesting and exciting always happens. You can really picture her in her new house and you can really picture how her old school is like compared to how her new school is like. Sarah Dessen is a wonderful author for girls who like to be independant. She mainly writes about teenage girls almost graduating from high school trying to get out of their mothers shadow and find their own way around things. Then they end up meeting a good guy and things change dramatically for them.
