This isn't my typical book but I was definitely into the characters, their struggles, and what they went through to find themselves and embrace their connections to each other. Great book from a great author. Any young adult readers who like conflict, deep emotion, and well-rounded characters should pick this up!
It follows the lives of a group of school students. Caitlin is the school newbie. She doesn't usually bother making friends because she and her mother never seem to stay in one place for very long, so what's the point? Landri is one of the first students she meets. Landri has a whole mess of stuff going on in her life and she and Caitlin become unlikely friends. Wes, Teresa and Evan have been friends for ages but welcome Caitlin and Landri to the fold.
Most of the main characters have issues they need to face. Some of these are very typical teenage problems, and some much more than any teenager should have to contend with. I felt that these problems were dealt with in a realistic fashion and I enjoyed the story and it's flow. A great deal happens in this story and I don't want to give anything away, but trust me, there is plenty to keep you entertained. I'm sure that you will find someone you recognise amongst the main characters, and possibly the supporting characters as well. I love the relationship between Wes and Evan. Evan made me laugh a lot. He's adorable.
If you want an easy read with some lovable characters and flawed but wonderful support characters, this is a great read for you. I saw more than a little of myself in some of these characters. I was reminded, once again, why I'd never want to be a teenager again :D
This was my first read from Tara Lin Mossinghoff ... But it will not be my last.
