Great read! I loved the letter/journal format as it allowed me to read a little or a lot at a time. I think this format also allows a deeper connection between the reader and character as you are let in on all the emotional day to day life of a teenager. The characters were relate-able. They seemed real, facing real issues. If only one complaint I felt that the characters were too honest. I doubt many teenagers today would be so open with their emotions, especially in relationships.

Overall a great read that tears at the heart and has you cheering on Laurel. There is no happy ending but a promise for a future.
