this is my first AHB book, and it was pretty good! i like her writing style so i will definitely be reading her other books. i think this book was just missing something. it felt a little instalovey after brighton and charlotte hated each other for almost all of the book. i did enjoy  the flaws of the characters and seeing them grow. it did seem like there were a ton of characters to keep track off that at some points i was confused.
