Appreciated the perspective of child with recovering parent, as I haven't seen much lit on that yet. Nice evolution, feel-good story.
I have received an Advance Reader's Copy of this book through a giveaway hosted by the publisher. This has not affected my rating in any way.

This wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. It's in this in between of good and okay.
The main character is just... really dumb. It seemed like all she cared about was her ex boyfriend at times, which was really annoying. All of the characters were described so vaguely that I had such a hard time visualizing them. And honestly, all of the characters are written pretty horribly. The only characters I even somewhat like are Alex, Peach, Nonnie, and Saylor. (Also, there's a love triangle. Bleh.)
And the writing in general is just... bad. The amount of times someone “sensed a subject change” is unreal. The only thing I really and truly liked about this book was the main plot.
So yeah, nothing phenomenal with this one.
