I thought that both sets of families were well represented and I appreciated the diversity of their interactions with both Aiden and Clare. Typically, if you get one family as being really supportive, the other is too, or sometimes is absent. I also really loved the family portrayals in this book. It was also nice to see the guy wanting to continue the relationship and being more of a hopeless romantic than the girl, a lot of the time the girl is dramatically in love and the guy is more blase. Despite Clare's fears of committing, they were a good couple. But together they were super cute and well matched. She was a little too whiney and for a part, only really cared about herself. I really liked Clare and Aiden's relationship, despite the fact that Clare annoyed me for some of the book. Smith did a great job of portraying their emotions in the situation, as well as making the reader experience those feelings as well. They had made their own choices and were going to have to decide how to move forward. They didn't want to be the couple who went to the same school, just because they were a couple. There comes a point when they reach a decision but the whole book there is a background feeling of sadness.
The storyline was simple enough, but everything was tinged with the bittersweetness of the possibility of the breakup, along with the anxiety of going to college. Armed with a list of special places, the two spend their last 12 hours together wandering around their hometown saying goodbye and trying to decide what to do with their relationship. They've been dating for two years, but they're going to school on two different sides of the country and have to decide if they will break up or try the long distance thing. The book follows Clare and Aiden, two teens on their last night before they leave for college. Gah! I can always count on Smith for a great romance! Of all her books, I think this one might be my favourite.
