I loved this story, it was my high school experience but better! I laughed, a lot, and cried a a few times, the writing was very well done, I loved the characters, the story line was sweet, romantic, sad, nostalgic, and just newly refreshing. The detail was amazing, I feel like Karen Gordon did a wonderful job on this book. The pace was great, then it went kind of fast when I wished it would slow down a bit but the want to read a second book was there for me, so very well done!
Carrie was perfect, she was the perfect mix of bad girl with a good girl inside. She was independent, but self conscious about the little things, she is loving and loyal to the people she's cares about and respectful, even to the people that don't always deserve it. Ben is the boy next door, all american, wholesome, caring and thoughtful. The two butt heads, but ultimately they were best friends destined to fall in love. MG is the carefree, have fun, consequences be damned, party girl. She loves Carrie enough to know when to push her a bit but also when to pull back and let things play out. Steve is one I wish to know more about (second book maybe?), he is funny sweet and desperately in love with MG.
Ultimately this was a great read about love and true friendship conquering all, through years, heartache, frights, differences, and distance. I loved it and can't wait to see what happens next. Great job Karen Gordon, can't wait to read more from you in the future.
