Marissa Crawford's Reviews > So Close

I liked that Amanda was a strong female character who knew that she didn't want to live in a trailer and have the same life as her mom. She was very driven and a hard worker.

My issue with the book were that large chunks of time would happen between the parts of the book. I found myself thinking that those missing chunks of time would have been interesting to read about, maybe more than what was actually covered in the book. The writing was sometimes awkward or unclear. There were several sentences I had to read over and over before I understand them.

I did love the relationship between Lauren and Amanda. It was nice to see Amanda have a mentor and someone she admired and truly cared about.
