I reread this via audiobook. This was a favorite Sarah Dessen novel for me when I was in high school. I expected this to be 4 stars, but was disappointed. Honestly, I think the narrator had a lot to do with that. I wasn't a fan of her delivery or voices for some of the characters. I'd be interested to see if my rating would change if I were to instead reread the physical book, which I may do in a few years.

It was still an enjoyable read, though. I liked the romance, although there honestly wasn't a whole lot of it. I really liked Ruby's relationship with her sister. I like Ruby herself as a main character, and all her flaws. I was invested through to the end, although it did feel like it went on for a little too long.

I found myself wishing there was more discussion on class. It felt like this book called for more of that, but it was mostly discussed around it or glossed over. Ruby doesn't like to spend loads of money on clothes, but now her sister wants her to and can afford it, so there's a little conflict. But it never felt like it was enough.

Overall, it was a fun contemporary YA. I really liked it and just in general really like Dessen. I do think a physical read would have been a better experience for me, though.
