Macy's got her whole summer carefully planned. But her plants didn't include a job at Wish Catering. And they certainly didn't include Wes. But Macy soon discovers that the things you expect least are sometimes the things you need most.
This was the first Dessen book I've ever read and I didn't know what to expect. I've read so many wonderful reviews about her books but at the same time it felt like it was not for me. Too much love and too much drama but I was wrong. I really liked this book and I'm so happy about that.
It's a super summery book that probably works just as well to read at age 13 as for someone who is 30 +. The language is good and even though the book is over 400 pages, it is a really fast read.
The reason I only (!) gave this book four stars was because of the characters. Macy was sometimes a really lovely girl and that reminded me a lot about my best friend in high school but just as often she was annoying and the relationship between Macy and her mother was SO disturbing. Macy's mother was so terribly naive and insensitive. And Wes .. yes, Wes. What to say? What a guy!
Read it - preferably this summer!
