The book is written from the point of view of both Megan and Elliott. This definitely added to the story as we saw both of them falling for each other without realising they both were, which was cute as hell. I love books like this, you're expecting a happy ending but don't know when, where or how it's going to happen. I was quite sad it wasn't until the end because I really wanted to see them together more.
The characters are extremely well written. I can't personally relate to Megan's story but can imagine how awful it must be having your parents pressure you into your future, my family allows me to make all my own choices. The way she grows throughout the book, even though her plans are a little crazy, is great to see. I love that her parents finally come around in the end, it's a shame it takes her so much to make them see what she wants but it happens (I'm not suggesting you should run off to elope to get something from your parents)
The texts between Sean and Becca also added something in the book, Becca is Megan's best friend, Sean is Elliott's brother. These two also end up in a fling/romance/friends-with-benefits (they don't really know) thing. And this is another relationship most of us can relate too, that, is it happening yes or no kind of thing. It was a nice second storyline in the book. I also loved the pictures, however, because I got an uncut edit some of the pictures on my iPad didn't show properly which was a shame.
I think I loved this book even more because it was set in British Secondary School and I could relate to the grades and system for the first time in a book as I did a-levels myself. Also the fact that it's set in Wales, which is where I'm currently living, made it all the better. The name Swansea popped up (I think that is genuinely the first time I've seen it in a book) and I was like yes, I live there. I recognised the stories about the beaches and the town and also about Megan going into the pub and becoming friends with two older men and the bartender, because people here really are friendly and will have a conversation with you and become your temporary friend.
I really hope there is a second part to this book that tells us more about Megan and hopefully Elliott's adventures in London as well as Sean and Becca's potential romance.

Great novel for Teens. Love the relationships between the characters and their interactions! It is told from the point of view of both Megan and Elliott, and they have great voices.
If you are looking for a heart-warming novel about teens finding themselves this is for you!
