I was a bit disappointed Sep and Joshua didn't get back together. However! I accept it too. You don't always get the happy endings and sure the author pulled my heart strings for the breakup and then not getting back together. But I love the life lesson at the end "learn to love yourself first. Show others you love them too."

I also don't like that Sep keeps going to Slingy, the girl at the makeup counter for advice. I understand seeking someone older, but seek someone who knows you. I wish Sep would talk to her friends or a school councilor (though that would be social suicide)

I don't like how Sep's mother doesn't stand her ground. She starts off strong then just gives in. I think Sep needs some discipline. I also feel like the mother might be hiding something, but maybe not.

Pennsylvania now we know where the story takes place. Weather was a clue. The trip to see the Statue of Liberty made me think they were further north in jersey or Massachusetts.

I was afraid it was going to drag longer until Sep saw the doctor. Thank goodness it didn't. The first two days of school were a little length but it seems to be setting the tone of the story, characters, atmosphere, etc.
