Well I didn't love it. I felt the story didn't go anywhere.
I loved them as friends. I don't think the romance worked. He only wanted her when someone else wanted her and it didn't sit well for me.
I am a huge fan of coming of age books but I felt, not only do they hold each other back by being together, it wasn't even a natural progression.
It's not the writing either, I would definitely try another by the author, it just wasn't the right story for me.
3.5 stars though!
