The plot felt similar to some I'd either read or watched on TV. The minor characters were one dimensional and not unique. I thought most of the characters were cliche and underdeveloped and was annoyed with Maggie feeling so sorry for herself. I wasn't immersed into the writing or characters and could LEAVING PARADISE was a book written for teens by an adult, rather than feeling like I were reading the voices of teens.
Told in alternating chapters in Maggie's and Caleb's POVs, I enjoyed Simone Elkeles' writing style, although the voices between the characters weren't distinguishable. All Maggie wants to do is run away for a semester abroad, while all Caleb wants is to fit back into their small town, Paradise, and keep the secrets of the accident from coming out. Next door neighbors, Maggie wants nothing to do with her former crush, the brother of her former best friend. Caleb is just out of juvey for causing that accident, drunk driving and leaving the scene of that accident. Maggie is still recovering from a car accident that left her leg permanently damaged.
