This is one of the last few books I got for the 12 Days of Bookmas basket I got last December, and I'm pushing to get them done before the end of the year. I read a lot of Sarah Dessen in high school but haven't for years since they're YA. It was pretty much what I expected from her: girl with family issues makes new friends and is figuring out life near the end of high school. In this case, Mclean has moved with her dad to the fourth new town in 2 years because of his consultant job, leaving behind her mom's new family. She changes her name (variations of her middle name) and persona in each new place, not making attachments. But the people in this new town get under her skin and she's more herself than she's been. This was fine, not my cup of tea anymore but can definitely see why I liked her books as a teen. The ending was too realistic in a way I didn't love because things felt rushed when they were left so open ended. I won't be keeping the print copy of this, I'll donate it or swap it for something else at the next book swap.
