Sukiyama Sagara sukiyama — now this....this book is truly a representation of it's title. Heartbreaking...Genius!! Beautiful chronicle of a boy....a teenagers transition through a less than "traditional" life and the struggle and beauty it brought to him. Wow....really can't say enough about this book.

Alvin Andrew _rew_yoe — Okay, so I was able to finish the amazing book within a day- truly because I thought it was amazing. The Truth about Forever had been my previous favourite from Sarah Dessen but it has now changed to this one. I love Sarah Dessen books, though I've only read her more recent ones (I didn't really like Along for the Ride but the other ones I've read are absolutely great) and this has got to be my all time favourite. This book, I know some people have problems with the Romance within it but I found it absolutely perfect and just so realistic, well in my opinion anyways. The thing about book romance is that hey put so much chemistry between the two characters you totally ship them and want them to kiss, with them I totally shipped them but I wasn't waiting for that kiss to happen where he tells her everything would be alright or them to hold hands. With this book, their relationship developed slowly, and I can imagine, living a life like Mcleans, she wouldn't want to be kissing the boy too soon or when she's feeling down, that would have or, might have, created lots of drama or emotional trauma between them. What I really adored was how they just sat together actually getting to know everything about each other, warts and all. I also don't think that this book was really meant to revovle around romance. I don't think it was meant to be those type or books where romance will fix the problems in your life. This was mainly about Mclean and dealing with the problems of having divorced parents and learning to accept yourself, your family and what has happened in the past. Perhaps even more reasons but I just can't think of them at the moment. That is why I think the Romance is fine the way it was. Another thing I noticed from reading other peoples reviews was that they hated the parents or didn't really like them. I can sort of see why but I just adore them as well. Her dad is just so busy with work, he may be annoying that way, and how her mom didn't see how Mclean saw the divorce but that was because she never told either of them what she really thought, until the end. And that's something I just love, how she finally expresses how she feels and why she pretended to be people she wasn't because it hurts to even tell people these type of things- and I know from experience. What I just love about Sarah Dessen books is how all her books are in the same world, and how characters from her other books are around but the narrator doesn't really notice them. What I love about that is because it's just to real. Think about our lives, we walk past people we've never met but they all have their own story. And I just love how that's incorporated within Dessen's books. What was funny was having Jason on this book, it gives a whole new look at him. I thought he was some mindless gineus when I read TTAB but here you see that he does have more to him than just smarts. I also liked how Dave knew him from Brain Camp (I never noticed how they were talking about the same Brain Camp until Dave mentions this to Mclean and I was like WHOA- HEY HEEYYYYY). Everything in the book is so realistic to me, and I just could totally relate to Mclean. As I do sometimes feel like her, wanting to change my life, pretend I'm some other person just so I don't have to be me. I just love her character, I love Dave's character, Deb- just everyone, even Heather. This book did have an emotional impact on me, I actually cried at the part at Poseiden. I do not have divorced parents but I completely understand the feelings Mclean had with her family and I just cried. I don't often cry when it comes to books (I didn't even cry for TFiOS, okay more liked teared up, but I cried more for this than that, but I do have reasons, reasons that are hard to explain), but this just had such an impact on me. That's why it's now my favourite Dessen book, and I can't wait for more Dessen books that captivate me like this books did.

Peter Rod peterrod — I have read stories from this book more times than I can count. They are no less funny, real and absolutely wonderful each time. I often have to suppress my laughter in public places while reading this book, to avoid stares.
