Reader reviewed by Katie

Once again, Sarah Dessen does it. Manages to find her way into the teenage mind. She portrays the struggles of a girl caught in her "perfect" sister's wake. I feel myself as I'm reading through her books thinking "Wow, I've felt this EXACT same way before."

Sarah Dessen is personally my favorite author. She always manages to relate you to her books, and draws the reader in. This book wasn't her best, because even though I'm a huge fan I struggled getting into it at first. But, my personal advice would be to stick it out, near the end is where you'll really love it. I read it in about 4 days, and the last 100 pages in about an hour. So, even though it wasn't her best, I would definitely say that it's worth the read, as are all her other books.
