This is such a departure from other YA novels which seem to focus on pain and the otherworldly. It is nice to be able to open a book and just laugh with the characters. I normally don’t enjoy love triangles simply because there is always one distinct character I love and can see the protagonist with more than the other. I was Team Edward in Twilight. There was no question about my choice then. In this book, however, I was rooting for both the love interests because they were fully fleshed out, likable but flawed characters. The women were strong and real without being Mary Sue’s and the male love interests each had their own characteristics that would be perfect for Keely. Did I believe that the artsy, bad boy Dean would be a great match or would Keely’s long-time best friend be the one for her? At the end of the book, I realized it didn’t matter to me which boy she chose because they were both great. It was a nice departure from how secondary love interests were portrayed and I will definitely be looking out for Cameron Lund’s next novel in the future because she can build amazing characters and a funny (not cringe) plot.
