I had wanted a super happy book about weddings. This novel was tragic, sweet, fun, and filled with hope all at once. Basically, the reader soon learns that Louna (the main character) fell in love with this guy. He died tragically and ever since she has been guarded. Then she has to work with this guy Ambrose and they make a bet. The flashbacks about Ethan and what happened to him were heartbreaking. Yet, somehow this novel was satisfying. And while I will never read this again (too upsetting) it will certainly remain in my heart. I highly recommend. I’ve been reading all the Sarah Dessen books that I hadn’t gotten to and this... is not her best. I kind of feel like she phoned it in. It’s very formulaic. It startled me a bit in the beginning with a school shooting being a part of the story (there’s no scenes of the shooting and the person recalling it was multiple states away when it occurred). This felt way out of Sarah’s norm and I was hopeful that this story would be unique and show her pushing herself a little. But then it reverted back to the same story of the same uptight, non-personality girl and the guy that is sickeningly nice but flawed. Once again, the best friend and side characters shined in this book (which is the one part I really really loved). I didn’t get the appeal of Louna for Ambrose or Ambrose for Louna (or really anybody). Who wants to try a serious relationship with someone who cannot do serious? How is someone who flirts with every girl and wants to date everyone at the same time attractive? I did like the familiarity of this book in the way that it felt homey— as in it reminded me of reading other Dessen books. But there wasn’t enough originality to push it into a LOVE category for me. It was very: insert mom with x career, insert main character facing a loss, insert boy who isn’t available but will be someday because the main character is just so special. Just not this author’s best by any stretch. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
