This is my first Sarah Dessen book. I got this from Book Sale at Makati Cinema Square. It was a really good find. I don't think this was really second hand. It looked more like a damaged copy. It had a pen line on one of the sides.
When I saw he synopsis at the back, I wasn't really sure if I wanted it. It seemed serious and I don't do serious much. I'm more into teen romance or dystopia or now adult alpha male romance. But for the price, why not. And I'm glad I read it.
I liked the book coz it was easy to read. It was about family. ruby's mom is crazy destructive and her sister was cold, at first. I would have put the book down and would have never finished it if Dessen wasn't good in making it relatable for me to keep me going. I honestly cannot relate but it was like I can feel what she feels without the weight. I'm really not comfortable with heavy family stuff and I'm glad this wasn't like that even thou it kinda is.
I also liked that it didn't have the snotty private school setting coz mean girls from rich people's schools are everywhere in YA already. It was getting kinda boring.
But the best thing about this book is the lesson teaches us. Well, there are several. Like taking B vitamins is good for the body and too much coffee can cause neurosis. JK! My favorite would be family are the people who claim us. They can be friends, lovers even ex's and acquaintances. Cora said, we go though several families during our lifetime, and I totally like that thought.
Thanks for reading!
