This one sounds super cute and I'm kinda glad you didn't love it completely because with all the 5 star reviews I've seen it's nice to have expectations tempered!Daniellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-3049704507852059482014-06-09T18:09:14.297+01:002014-06-09T18:09:14.297+01:00Ha!

Now that I've actually read Dessen I can finally make these references! ;)daisychainbookshttp://daisychainbookreviews.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-12870631987097622382014-06-09T18:08:32.976+01:002014-06-09T18:08:32.976+01:00Amy & Roger is still my favourite of her books...Amy & Roger is still my favourite of her books.

As for cheating - not so much. There is a kiss, but mostly the characters have strong morals and they know when to take a step back and sort out any relationship issues before things go further. One of the characters really has a problem with what happens cheating wise - but the issue with that character is never resolved. I would like to have seen how it worked out!daisychainbookshttp://daisychainbookreviews.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-87114185393017338162014-06-05T16:48:22.956+01:002014-06-05T16:48:22.956+01:00Yes!

Didn't love Second Chance Summer as much, but still liked it, so might give this book a go as well. It's a shame you never really warmed to Emily, but glad you enjoyed it overall!

It's a shame most of the book is a touch slow-moving, but I'm glad it finishes strong. I can overlook a lot of what came before if a story ends with a flourish.

I wasn't the biggest fan of Emily and the whole reason I continued with this book was Frank (loved him!) and the pace of the second half of the story….it definitely got better. I'm glad I stuck with it, but, like you, I didn't love it as much as her other novels. :(ChristinaBookAddictnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-61461226070235991522014-06-05T01:40:15.662+01:002014-06-05T01:40:15.662+01:00Lovely review!

There are just too many books on my TBR that I KNOW I'll love, you know? I think I'd prefer read the backpacking adventures of A&R instead :-)Emilynoreply@blogger.com
