5 stars for pure nostalgia.
I think Colie is one of my favorite Sarah Dessen characters. She's angsty and wants to rebels and has a lot of self pity but then she finds friends in this new town and grows into herself and discovers that it doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks.
This book also has some of my favorite side characters. I loved Isabel, Morgan, and Norman. They cared so much for Colie. This is my favorite kind of found family story.
This story was more focused on character growth than the romance, and I loved that. Even now at 26 years old I felt inspired by this book.
