Probably closer to 3.5 stars?
I really enjoyed Morgan Matson's writing, and will probably seek out more books by her when I'm in the mood for a summer contemporary, but I just really can't get behind the way cheating was portrayed in this book, it really took me out of enjoying the story as much as I might have. Ordinarily, I would really really enjoy the plot between Emily and Frank where their friendship slowly developed into romance, but for the first bit of the book I thought he was just a friend character and the romantic interest would be brought in later (owing to his girlfriend) and once I realized we were going with a cheating plot, I just couldn't get invested in them as a couple. The ending also felt kind of rushed, especially considering how long the book was.
