My Summary:
Scott is Brooke’s soul mate, only he doesn’t know it yet. She’s sure she can convince him by moving to the same city he is, New York City!
My Review:
This is my third Colasanti and I finally “get” it.
I can now see the authors appeal and that these characters are very relatable. Colasanti’s writing as improved leaps and bounds and I really enjoyed the story; I think it’s truthful, without being in-your-face and invasive. The characters are real, but still retain the Teenager-Stereotype Colasanti has basically trademarked. I think fans of this author will be overjoyed by this newest edition to her collection!
I am still not completely sold, simply because these are just not the characters I can connect with on a deeper level. I still enjoyed the read and flew through it!
Notes on the Names:
Meh. Boring. Rhiannon did make an appearance, however, and that jazzed things up in the name department, however.
Thoughts on the Cover:
I can’t decide who the dude on the cover is... he’s too beefy to be John, but Scott has blond hair. Conundrum.
Also, don’t we all want this girls butt?!

Am I the only one who thinks the covers looks af if it was taken in the 90's? Does the story take place in those years? Anyways, I like that you put keywords into the reviews. The only other book by Colasanti I've "read" (it was an audiobook) was When It Happens and I was almost finishing it, but Toby's voice was so annoying and the girl kept repeating the word "like". Didn't finish it. So, I don't know about this one.
I've heard a lot about Colasanti, but I'm not big on solely romance. I like a bit of action in my books.
Seems interesting enough though, though I don't really like the name of the book. Too generic.
I've heard some really good things about Colasanti, but I haven't read any of her books. I think that's because for my generation, it was Sarah Dessen who wrote these sorts of books. I may give this one a try, just to compare the two. Thanks for the review!
