Pretty okay. submitted by SamiraTootie on May 1, 2007, 2:39pm I read this book last year.Looking back I don't remember much of it. The only things I remembered off the bat about it were the cover and the title.
I like the idea of telling a story of your summer experience without the people you depend on, yet I expected her to forge her own path much earlier in the book and because she didnt it feels like two separate stories, the story of the girl who gets a job the summer after her father died while her boyfriend is away and the story of a girl falling in love with a guy who works with her as a caterer.

Its a good read. It changed pace too fast and too late in the game for my tastes, but after it happened the story was almost pure gold.

Good Book submitted by summertime678 on June 21, 2011, 8:34am This book touched many subjects, many of which were relatable, saying goodbye to somebody you love, getting a job, etc. I would recommend this book!

My Fav submitted by harajuku528 on June 28, 2013, 12:05pm My favorite of hers!

THE BEST submitted by purplelily on July 31, 2014, 10:30pm I'm not usually too fond of Sarah Dessen's books but this one is one of my favorite books of all times. It's a love story between two teenagers - very cute and really draws you in. Perfect.

okay submitted by kzheng on June 17, 2015, 2:57pm this wasnt my favorite book by her, but it was decent

One of my favorites of all time submitted by clk.9123 on August 22, 2022, 8:02pm Wes and Macy are some of my favorite characters of all time. I first read this at 15, and now 30, still adore this book. There is something so eloquent and timeless about this story and the way Sarah writes. This is regarded as one of her best if not maybe her best work, and I stand by that.
