When Auden impulsively goes to stay with her father, stepmother, and new baby sister the summer before she starts college, all the trauma of her parents' divorce is revived, even as she is making new friends and having new experiences such as learning to ride a bike and dating.

When I was in the middle I wasn't sure if this book was a 5 star book but I just finished it and I really feel it's a 5 star book. I really enjoyed it.

I fell in love with this book. As the first book I read by Sarah Dessen, I was really impressed because I assumed she wrote more on the preteen side but was proven wrong. I pictured Cam Gigandet as Eli (lucky me) and completely fell in love with it. READ IT. You know you want to :)

Read it after watching the netflix film. If you thought the film was good, you're going to love this more.

Man, I just zipped right through this book. A fast and joyous read. Near-perfect!

I loved this book way more than I was expecting to. Honestly I picked it up because I had never read a Sarah Dessen book and wanted to, and this one is coming out as a netflix movie next week. 

I liked it so much because Auden was so relatable to me. I tend to get worked up about how I need to finish whatever school work and feel like I can’t go out and do something fun because of it. But this summer, Auden didn’t try to get ahead in school and she just let go and had a summer filled with new experiences, new adventures, and new friends. 

I also think it was impactful in the idea of not being so over concerned about the future and instead enjoying where you are in that moment. 

That was how this book resonated with me, but there were so many other ways I think it could resonate with different people. I think that’s what makes it such a beautiful book.

An author putting a playlist at the end of the book should be illegal IM NOT LOOKING AT THE END WHEN I START IT!!! I NEEDED THAT AT THE BEGINNING!!!!!!!!

This book was kind of pointless to me, the romance fell flat and there is absolutely zero ZERO spice. It's only two stars because the writing wasn't bad and I think if the relationship was more developed it would actually be a good book.

This was a 400 page book that could have been written in 200. But I loved Auden and Heidi’s relationship

This is such a cute and heartwarming book. It is the perfect summer read. I loved all the characters as I felt like they were very well-rounded and relatable. They weren't perfect, and it made me love them a bit more because of that.
