the great Sarah dessen reread continues. not my favorite but I thinks that's bc I don't connect with the sports angle, Dave is kinda forgettable and I hate a Jason redemption. fuck Jason. fuck mcleans mom too she sucks her dad sucks too but mostly her mom. that whole fake "you can talk to us we love you" shit at the motel pissed me off. McLean said. loudly. clearly. SERVERAL TIMES. how she felt about her parents divorce and her life splitting in two and she refused to listen fuck her she deserves her creepy loveless cheatery marriage. also kinda weird that thisbe and Auden's relationship was such a for front in a long for the ride and the importance of half siblings and new families but Madison and Connor never really develop a relationship w McLean.
