Good Reads Synopsis:
Who is the real McLean?
Since her parents' bitter divorce, McLean and her dad, a restaurant consultant, have been on the move-four towns in two years. Estranged from her mother and her mother's new family, McLean has followed her dad in leaving the unhappy past behind. And each new place gives her a chance to try out a new persona: from cheerleader to drama diva. But now, for the first time, McLean discovers a desire to stay in one place and just be herself, whoever that is. Perhaps Dave, the guy next door, can help her find out.
My thoughts:
I read a lot of negative reviews on this book before reading it. I have to say I don't agree with any of them. I liked this book. I have said it before, but I just dig the way that Sarah Dessen tells a story. I love that she brings in characters from other books.
I liked the character of McLean. She is smart and adapts to her surroundings quickly. I like she changed not just her style every where she went but her name as well. I think most people have wanted to try on a different name and personality. I think to varying degrees we all try on different personalities at some point. I have always been fascinated with people who can so quickly adapt. In some ways McLean reminded me of my friend My friend like McLean can seamlessly put herself in any situation and excel.
I would recommend this to Pink Book readers or anyone who digs a good writer.
While writing this review I was listening to Emmapuppy grumble and moan about not being at the dog park.
