“If I wanted to have an interesting life - which I did - then there was no point sitting around debating everything in my head on a constant loop. If I wanted my life to change, then I had to do something. Or at least try.”

This was okay, but definitely not more than that. It just wasn't that well written, the characters were kinda the worst (and not at all like they would be 15?!) and it was at least 80 pages too long. I also felt like the author tried too hard to make the book deeper than it was. You're writing a cute love-story (not very successfully) - no need to force health care and the military into it. If you're not gonna do it right, might as well not do it at all. But maybe that's just my opinion.
For me contemporarys are a hit or miss for their characters and I really didn't like the ones in here.
