The only thing I would have liked to have read more about, is Deb's family and her past. As she gradually opens up more about herself, the real Deb gets a chance to shine. I absolutely adored Deb who has so many hidden layers and really just needs someone to extend a hand of friendship to her. ![]() From Mclean, to new friend Deb, to boy-next-door Dave and Mclean's food obsessive father, there were so many fantastic characters to read about. They're also described as having incredibly well written and quirky characters. ![]() It's impossible to try to be someone you're not and actually who you are may not be so bad after all. However, as she soon begins to learn, we are who we are and our mistakes and experiences help to form us. Like the main character Mclean, I've often thought how perfect it would be to be able to shed one personality and create a whole new identity, enabling you to become anyone you want to be. For starters, a realistic and relatable storyline. There are many things which I've heard are characteristic of a Sarah Dessen novel. I'm immediately lamenting the fact that I waited so long to discover what I have a feeling may turn out to be my new favourite author! I have several of her books on my shelves and I've read wonderful reviews of many of them but I've just never gotten around to picking one up and reading it.until now. I've never actually read anything by Sarah Dessen before. ![]()
