Lucy McKinsey was at camp when she was 14 and she got a dare. Her dare? To kiss her crush, Jackson Phillips. She kissed him and she never saw him again for another 3 years. She sees Jackson again (in the weirdest way) and realizes that he is her next door neighbor. Will she ever get noticed by Jackson, the boy next door?This novel was really sweet and was the highlight of my day. Jackson was a wonderful character but he had a sad story that many people can relate to. Lucy was hilarious, crazy & was really nice. I loved that Suzanne D. Williams, once again, mentioned God and the importance of having morals & waiting until you're married to have sex (no the book is not religious).I also appreciated some of the things she said. For example: "God often speaks in the tiny ways, the ways you least expect. He's in a song on the radio, a quote from the internet, or the natural warble of a bird. He comes just when you needed Him the most, saying the exact right thing." and "The Bible says, 'There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus,'...". Those quotes were so beautiful (especially the one from the Bible). She's sending a positive message through her novels.My only complaint was the ending. I was reading and all of a sudden I notice I'm at the epilogue! She should've made the book longer. I wanted to see how everything would progress in high school & past high school. It was a great ending but it was too abrupt. Overall, the book deserves 5 stars!
