I won this book from the Goodreads First Reads giveaways. I wasn't sure what to expect as I've only read one other book quite a few years ago by this author. I remember that I liked the book but I have not picked up any of her other books to read in the interim. I loved loved loved this book. It focuses on Cecilia (Cece) and her life after she the death of her best friend. She makes some changes in her life and makes some new friends that she probably never would have met and goes on a road trip with them that resolves some issue in each of their lives.

But the down-to-earth quality of the story, the easy pace, the understated yet heartfelt beauty of this substantive slice of a small-town boy/young man's life... Even while I was pretty sad here and there, I felt like I was wrapped up in a soft, consoling blanket, and I ultimately had to smile.… (meer)

Oh my goodness that ended fast and, well, kind of underwhelming. But I guess family can be underwhelmingly normal, too. I liked Laura. She was quirky but responsible and mature. I liked Caroline's complexity as well. Just not enough.
