I really loved this book. The characters are very unique, and I liked that they were different from each other. You can really be friends with anyone no matter your differences. I also loved the emotions. The guilt, the anger, the sadness, the fear, the hesitancy. They felt so real. The plot was great, and I loved how Sam and her friends went to different places. Sometimes it felt all over the place, but I liked that. It never bored me.The first thing that stopped me from giving the book 5 stars is how much importance was placed on looks in the book. I hate when books make men out to be so, so unearthly gorgeous. Its just so annoying how much emphasis they put on trying to make the boy so incredible looking. I understand people want the main guy to be hot, but its overdone. And I don't need to know how perfectly amazing and kissable someone's lips are every single time you see them, you know?The second thing that annoyed me was how quickly Sam, Becky, and Fraiser became best friends. They spend a few hours in the library working on a project and all of a sudden they're hanging out constantly and freaking out because one of them misses a day of school. Just because your friend, a friend you barely know, misses a day of school, doesn't mean you need to keep texting them and worrying. I don't understand how Sam thought that was normal. Is that normal? To me it isn't.But aside from that, I really enjoyed this book and definitely recommend it.
