This book was a my first ever sarah dessen read. I really did like the small town this book was set it and also the main character. It was a super fast pace read and just the prefect summer read. I want to feel more connected to most of the characters but I really did enjoy the lead girl. I liked how this book focused a lot on self discovery and and also on self confidence. I also liked the unique female relationships we explored in this book. I def want to read more sarah dessen this summer and this was def a good start! ( )

Mientras su madre, la reina del aerobic, Kiki Sparks, pasa el verano de gira por Europa, a Colie, de quince años, le toca quedarse con su tía Mira en un aburrido pueblecito de Carolina del Norte. Está convencida de que va a ser el peor verano de su vida, pero pronto se da cuenta de lo equivocada que está. Por un lado, su tía es escéntrica pero encantadora; por otro, gracias al destino o la casualidad, Colie consigue un trabajo de camarera donde hará los primeros amigos de su vida: Morgan, Isabel y Norman. Entre los tres conseguirán que al final del verano Colie se quiera y se vea así misma de otra manera.

This was a strange sort of experience.
I liked it. But in a strange weird sort of way.
"I'm not sure what happened, but I liked it" sort of feeling.

Emotional involvement on a 0-to-10 scale: 6.0
Enjoyable, but not as hammer-to-your-heart as other Dessen books I read.

And the end was... Not. It feels slightly loose and kind of...sketchy?
I mean there wasn't much in terms of conversation really. And I'm not talking just words here.

Well, nice is nice. But nice does not excellent make. ( )
