Why read YA books? Because it deals with us old fogies, too! Sadie is in love with her best friend, Garrett. When he goes away to a writing workshop for the summer, she swears that she is going to try to get over him. He doesn't love her and she has spent the last two years turning into a female Garrett. She likes his music, reads his authors, dresses the way he likes girls to dress, and basically doesn't know herself. It takes some new (and older) friends at a local coffee shop to help Sadie get over him. And, listen to this, girls. She DOES NOT date someone else to get over him! She tries to find herself--what does she like? How does she want to dress? What kind of boy does she even like? What does she want to do with her life? Sadie starts to find all the answers and must fight temptation when Garrett comes home from class at the end of the summer. Does she give him a chance to love her? Is he worth it? Or, better yet, is she going to lower herself to date him?
What I love about this book is that Sadie's older friend finds herself losing her own dreams in the man she is dating and does the only thing she can think of--runs away. Did Dominique make the right decision? Yep! Which is more important? Law school? or a man who kinda likes you? DUH!!!!
