Sometimes you find a teenage book that doesn't talked down to you or shows all the bad choices you can make. Sometimes you do find true and honest love as a teenager. Sometimes life is carefree and amazing and there is no need to make life harder. This is a story of how a girl can just decide to give in to love and not make things more complicated than life needs to be.This book was a wonderful read. It is a YA (teen) romance novel.Eliana's father is deployed and she has to move to Oregon with her mother to the small town that both her parents grew up in. She must trade the sun, beach, and clubs of southern California for the cold, wet weather and bowling alley of Oregon.I wish more teenagers could be more like Eliana, strong, confident, and she truely knows who she is and will not change that to please anyone. She knows whats right and she she has morals.I loved the relationship she has with her mother and grandfather. I also liked the relationship she has with her new friend. She never tried to come between her and her old friends (even if they make her life hell).I do have some unanswered questions, but I hope the sequel will sort them out.
