Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Amy

This really is a touching story. I have read most of Sarah Dessen's books and I think this is the best. Remy's mother has been married and divorced three times and is onto her fourth marriage when this book takes place. None of her marriages have worked out and this makes Remy doubtful that there can be a happy ending in love. You could probably call her a slut, because usually she dates guys and sleeps with them but after a while she decides to dump them and move on.

She meets Dexter in multiple places and she really likes him. His mother has been married even more than Remy's, 5 times. Her friends see a change in her. She makes a lot of rules when dating guys including not dating musicians (and Dexter just happens to be one).

Will there romance work out? For both of them, their mother's romance didn't work out but will that leave them skeptical of love or can their relationship change them?
