While I wasn't thrilled to see *another* young adult title with a main character who likes photography, I was anxious to read the Morris Award winner for this year. The voice of Blake is funny and refreshing and I giggled throughout the book, even as he has to deal with typical teenage stuff. His girlfriend Shannon is beautiful, tempting, and emotional. Another girl, Marissa, is interesting, easy to get along with, but suffering from all sorts of family drama. Blake is sucked into Marissa's world, and Shannon doesn't appreciate it. Mistakes happen and couples break up, but there's always hope. And I love the "Mad-sad playlist" and "Sad-sad playlist" of songs at the back of the book. Gotta go listen!
