One morning, Caitlin wakes up to her older sister, Cass, missing. She's always been in her sister's perfect shadow and although she misses her, she is glad she can find her own path now. When Caitlin meets Rogerson, her whole life is turned upside down. He's everything she's ever wanted in a boyfriend.... until he's not.

I think this is the first Sarah Dessen book I thoroughly enjoyed. It's heartbreaking and enlightening all at once. I hated the path Caitlin was taking and wanted to shake her at times. I would have gotten the heck out of there as soon as possible, but I understand that being in the situation she was in is a lot different when you're actually in it. The book is an extremely fast read and has an amazing flow to it. It was hard to put down because I NEEDED to know what was going to happen next. I'm glad that Sarah Dessen chose to portray this story the way that she did, I thought it was a very real take on the topic and thought it was very well done.
