This was really good. I wasn't sure about it when the book started, as I did not like Julia at all. I spend time in real life with people her age and I was like "Yep, the author has a 21 year old pegged." She was so immature and annoying. Yet she did a good job growing and developing Julia's character. In fact, I felt like she did a good job with all of the characters and I'm going to be reading the next two fairly soon. Though I am a little concerned that they won't be as good. Oh, and Fern is the real MVP. 

I'm glad to finally clear this one off my TBR.
