A definite departure from Mlynowski's other YA novels, I none-the-less really enjoyed this one. I like the underlying message in the book as well, that there has to be moderation in all things. Because the main characters did nothing but glom to each other their lives were the poorer for it. Yes they love each other, yes they should probably be together but they should have lives outside each other which in turn would strengthen their relationship. That's a nice change from the typical "love is the only thing that matters" message many YA romances seem to espouse.
