Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Caroline

This book was everything you could ask for coming from the NYT Best Selling Author, Sarah Dessen.
As Auden (the main character) takes a vacation out to her fathers home, where her father, stepmother, and newborn baby sister awaited, she not only expieriences things shes never got to do in highschool, but emotions that she never would of imagined.
Her mother and father are divorced, and as you read on in the story, you will realize why Auden is the way she is. Her father, a writer, seems to only focus his time on his new book while chaos is happening with her stepmother, Heidi, and her one-month year old half sister, Thisbe.
Auden, however, does what she can to keep to herself and focus on her studies, staying up late at night, keeping herself busy with anything there is possibly to do.
On one of her late nights, she meets Eli, who has a story himself, and together, they both explore the lonesome one another is facing, while opening up to a whole new world of having eachother there for them.
