A Sarah Dessen novel is always highly anticipated, and Once and for All doesn't disappoint. I wonder about the reality of Ambrose actually doing a 180 from player to dedicated boyfriend all due to the love of that one perfect-for-him girl, but I love the way Dessen handled the Ethan flashbacks and the wedding planner aspects of the story. Compulsively readable, as always.

Sarah Dessen just keeps getting better. The Edwards Award-winner shows that she hasn't lost her touch in describing how older teens deal with family, friends, work, and love.
