You're right -- it's not a depressing book by any means, but one of those meaningful sad books, with a situation that could very well hit close to home one day. It was so touching and I found myself BAWLING during the last part of it. I adored all of the relationships and loved that there was some actual meat to the story, not just "girl goes to beach, rekindles friendship and falls in love." There was a lot of emotions going on and I loved every second of it. Morgan Matson is awesome. Definitely on my must-buy list now! <br /><br />Great review!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-19003492718981198552012-07-07T18:50:33.937-04:002012-07-07T18:50:33.937-04:00Haha love that you saw SCS in your reader and deci...Haha love that you saw SCS in your reader and decided to visit right away! I'm SO glad you recommended this so highly! I would have been interested in it anyway, but it would have taken me a long time to get around to it. So glad you convinced me I needed to read it right away :) I CANNOT WAIT to see what else Morgan Matson writes :)Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058757489545239601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-7581675587561695852012-07-07T18:49:11.347-04:002012-07-07T18:49:11.347-04:00I KNOW!

Insta-love is probably my biggest pet peeve in books, and it's something I notice all too often. I love finding gems like this where it's actually built on a friendship first!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058757489545239601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-47778218484848678852012-07-07T18:48:05.006-04:002012-07-07T18:48:05.006-04:00I really enjoyed Amy & Roger's, but this o...I really enjoyed Amy & Roger's, but this one definitely stole my heart! It was just such a wonderful read. Sweet and touching - and I still can't believe I cried!

I'm glad you agree with me that the family relationship was really the one that stood out :) AND I love that the dad reminded you of your dad - I'm convinced that's what made it so emotional!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058757489545239601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-70056175872127657702012-07-03T15:27:28.727-04:002012-07-03T15:27:28.727-04:00YEEEEEEEEES.

I mean words just don't seem to do it justice. Morgan Matson really outdid herself. I loved it! I'm so behind on commenting since I've been gone a lot this month, but I saw you reviewed this in my google reader and was like...

I wish more relationships in YA were like this, instead of that whole insta-love things. I like to see depth and development in my relationships, and not just infatuation.Natalie https://www.blogger.com/profile/15879112865868418812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-77647157549144308122012-06-18T10:04:39.373-04:002012-06-18T10:04:39.373-04:00This book really was something else.

I loved how it was romantic but also about a family (and the siblings) really coming together. I cried too. Right by the pool. Luckily no one was around but it was an ugly cry I could not control. Matson is a great writer, and I can't wait to see what she does next.Estellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04173717120884471137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-77254950613515339062012-06-18T08:31:03.204-04:002012-06-18T08:31:03.204-04:00Aw, Hannah!

Such a good point you made about the dad because he felt like mine too even though he is NOTHING like mine. I think that's what makes it even more hard hitting. I agree about the romance bit, I enjoyed it a lot but the strength for me was the family relationships. Oh, this book was wonderful.elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098549352641704742noreply@blogger.com
