I enjoyed this more than I have any other Kasie West book in quite some time. The romance wasn't quite well developed, particularly for the end it got, but Sophie's character and other relationships were really well done. I loved the tensions that developed between her and her best friend over her leaving their town. I felt the resolution to that was handled really well too. And I adored how West treated Sophie's complicated feelings for both of her parents. There was a definite shift there from childhood thinking to adult thinking that was fascinating to see and not really explored a lot in YA. And the boy part is fun if not totally believable.
