I loved her friendship with Otis, but she deserved so much more from him.

I was mad at Otis too, but then sometimes I would get mad at Dara, sometimes Meg, but I still loved each of them. I was so afraid Meg would end up in some kind of MPDG role, but she didn't at all, which was awesome. Plus, SWIMMING. Seriously, this book was such a win! Great review, I am so glad you liked it too!
