This book is definitely one of the best contemporary books I've ever read! No doubt about that...
It revolves around April, a sixteen year old girl who has a complicated life at home. When her dad drops the bomb about them moving to Connecticut she decides to lie to her father in order for him to let her move in with Vi, one of her closest friends, and stay at home, in Westport. She ends up making the wrong choices and doing ten things she wishes she hadn't done.
It is sooo well written! Mlynowski did a great job at exploring and developing characters and creating mischievous and relatable situations. I have to say that I didn't see the end coming. There was a huge twist at the end that proves things aren't always as easy and simple as you thing and that you have to think before you do something stupid! If you are a teenager I'd totally recommend this book to you. I'd even recommend it to guys, eventhough it is told from April's perspective, mainly because of the major life lesson that this book holds.
The characters were very well thought, since everyone was so different and unique. I loved Vi's corkiness and self-confidence, by far my favorite character. Noah's personality was spot on since I knew he wasn't trustworthy from the beginning. April was a very interesting protagonist to read about and I loved how she developed throughout the book. And yes, I fell in love with Hudson and Dean from the very start!
What makes it so easy to read is that the author doesn't overload you with information. She doesn't go on and on about something. She soon gets to the point which makes the reading process way more enjoyable. The plot flows very nicely and is very realistic, generating one of the best books of 2011.
So how come you haven't read this yet??? GO PICK IT UP. Totally recommend it :D
