This book was really good...if you like drama(which I do). But it's about a girl who is popular but hates who she pretends to be and a guy who is super unpopular who does ballet. And they both meet online through a chat room and start to have feelings for each other through online. And what I really liked about this book is that it shows the point of views from them both.

Var tvungen att läsa denna som en svensk uppgift, och den var verkligen trög att läsa ut. Vissa delar var bättre, men andra var bara hur tråkiga som helst. Väldigt förutsägbar också, må jag säga...

im sorry but im not a big fan of this book. it was so hard for me to finish reading this book because id get so bored with it. i feel like it was so easy to figure out what would happen next and it just really did nothing for me.

okay this is apparently the best selling teen novel in sweden... well that doesn't say much for swedish teens.
problems:
1. they did that thing where they rewrote part of the book to make it american, which included adding facebook to the book which didn't exist when the book was written. and I'm too lazy to look but i'm pretty sure AOL was mentioned and AOL and facebook just don't work together. not to mention the weird chatroom thing, which isn't what people do when they have facebook. This book just wasn't placing itself well in time. I think if it had stayed in sweden where the author probably understood the internet scene it would have worked much better than the weird attempt to make it american and completely miss how the internet works. I mean why are so many people running around in families with one computer and parents not knowing how to use computers this doesn't work with the facebook thing at all.
2. I don't actually feel the need to rant anymore, if the internet part had been done better I would be ranting about the ridiculous story line of drunk ass party girl falls in love with ballet dancer, but in this setting that was sort of the least annoying part of the book.

I loved this book! It was a good technological spin on a romance story. I loved the constant up and downs and the real life situations! I recommend anyone whose a YA fan and/or romance fan, please read this book!

This was an interesting read about two people who meet in a chat room. They instantly bond but then they have to figure out how to make things work when they meet in the real world by learning if the on-line persona was the real them.

I was drawn to this book because of the online romance plotline ... but this book didn't really meet my expectations. For one thing, this novel is written in present tense, which made it a bit unusual, and something I had to get used to. But I liked the attraction between Alex and Kyla - "good boy" meets "bad girl." I could identify with the absence of a father in Kyla's life- she ended up working hard and protecting her mother after realizing she was making some totally self centered choices. The ending between her and Alex is beautiful in it's simplicity and is just perfect. However, I thought that this book was mostly only "okay" and it's not something I'm going to revisit again.

Two years ago today(May 29th), I met my boyfriend in Heathrow Airport. We'd been talking online almost everyday for hours and hours for over three months. We spent two perfect weeks together and cried so much when we had to say goodbye at the airport.
So I was hoping for this book to be even slightly similar to our story, whether it be similar in the online conversations or maybe similar in the way they meet. It was actually not similar in any way but it was still an okay book.
I've already read a few books on online relationships and they are usually about online predators or are extremely cheesy/lame(*cough*TweetHeart*cough*). This one was a bit different but still not what I was hoping for.
It's about a boy and a girl who meet in an AOL chatroom and start emailing each other. Their emails are all emo and they lie about their lives sometimes. The book goes back and forth between their actual lives and their emails to each other. There are actually not that many emails in the book so if you're hoping for lots of correspondence, you may be disappointed.
The translation of the book is kind of weird. It's not too bad but it was translated from Swedish and you can kind of tell sometimes. It's not too distracting, though. Apparently this was the best selling Y.A book of all time in Sweden which, if it's true, is pretty surprising.
I wished there had been more humour and romance in this book. Instead it was very dramatic and the main characters kept screwing up.
I guess I will keep looking for a book about an online relationship that'll satisfy me. This was okay in it's own way but I wished for something different.
I ordered this used on Amazon and waited about three weeks for it to come. The description had said "Like New" but when I got it, there was a tear in the dustjacket, pen writing on the inside of the dust jacket, and the edges and everything were all scuffed up. So I asked for a replacement or refund and got a refund. My point of this story is that even though my book was in shoddy shape, it was freeeeee!
I would recommend this to anyone who likes books about online relationships. It was good in it's own way but I just didn't love it.
