So with this book, it’s kind of obvious what’s going to happen. It’s a typical YA love/romance book. 


Girl dating boy parents don’t like ✔️

That boy is older ✔️

Dysfunctional family ✔️

Girl hates someone ✔️

That someone moves back and she ends up falling in love ✔️


Want to be confused by the names of characters✔️


I felt as if this kind of book had been done a million times before and will be done again. There are similarities between this book and My Life Next Door. 


I felt that the book could have been so much more. It’s my own fault though as when ever there are people who rave about books and I end up reading them I don’t like them as much.  

I like it when I can imagine characters as if they are off the page. Yet this one I couldn’t.

Right now it’s marked as I have read it because I will come back to it later. Right now I don’t feel in the right head space to finish reading it. I’ll finish it in the summer.
