In What Happened to Goodbye?, the classic Sarah Dessen story plays out. Mclean (odd name right?) has moved more times than anyone cares to count. Cue partying, grounding, cops, love, the like. It may sound like I didn't enjoy the book, but I did. I read it this summer and really truly enjoyed it as a summer romance read...and yes, I read it beachside. The story was cute and it's fun to imagine yourself with a smart, kind boyfriend (if you don't have one already).
Dessen is a great author, all her books being in the 1st person omniscient, she brings the characters to life. This is a great book if you're looking for a romance that doesn't require any outside thought. Everyone needs a book like that, and even though it's hard for me to convey how much I actually did love the book and convey how much of a summer romance it is, trust me on this one, it's a keeper. Any other Dessen book is also a great read, however this one has that summery feel to it. Pick it up, it's a great read!
Teaser Quote: “You want to take me to a movie?” I asked.
“Well, not really,” he said. “What I really want is for you to be my girlfriend. But I though saying that might scare you off.”
(This was wayyy to good to pass up, so it's an extra long Teaser Quote between Mclean and Dave)
