While I understood the point to this story- I definitely became frustrated with the main characters. So frustrated I was literally growning while listening to the audiobook.

“Art is subjective, that’s what makes it great,” I said. “We each get to love or hate something on our own terms.”

This book was just what I needed! It's delightfully cute and sweet, exactly what I love about Kasie West books. I also love it when a heroine in a romance book doesn't let love be the only thing important to her. Abby has a passion for painting, and it was a very important part of her story.

There’s a scene in “Addams Family Values” where Morticia is reading “The Cat in the Hat” to baby Pubert, and she flips to the end and says, in quiet, lovely despair, “Oh no. He lives.”

And that was pretty much my reaction when I got to the end of this book and realized the author was hellbent on undoing any character growth Abby might have achieved by having her end up with that douchebag. (I really had my fingers crossed that she wouldn’t end up with anyone. Oh well.)

Headcanon is they break up in college.

3.5 This was pretty cute--I have to admit. I haven't read a fluffy, young adult contemporary in a while. There were some cheesy moments, but overall it was sweet and makes you believe the world might not be a completely awful place. Maybe.

I wasn't sure if I was going to like this story line much once I read the first few pages but I honestly fell in love with it. Th character development was so well written and of course like all of Kasie West's books it just flowed so nicely and I couldn't put it down. I also love that she actually dealt with the fact that there were issues wit her parents and mental illness ext.. and it wasn't just blown over.

Tohle se mi hodnotí vážně špatně. Vím, že nejsem cílovka. To mi došlo během prvních pár stran. Jsem zvyklá na trochu komplikovanější literaturu, ale chtěla jsem vědět, co všichni na té West mají.

Nevím, jestli to navazuje na autorčina předchozí díla; strašně jsem se ztrácela v ději i v postavách, tohle autorka vůbec nevysvětlovala. Spousta dialogů nemá doplnění, takže mi dlouho trvalo zjistit, kdo co říká. A někde v půlce se mi přestalo líbit, kam ta kniha směřuje. Doufala jsem v nějaký láskyplný příběh s menším ponaučením, ale je to naprosto průhledné a... no, dost pitomé. Neupírám tomu čtivost, čte se to lehce, a místy to bylo vtipné - a překlad naprosto skvělý, bez chyb!

I absolutely loved this book. This book has an extremely sarcastic character that will make you laugh out loud. I laughed so many times. This book has a character who is trying to accomplish stuff for herself. Even though it doesn't end how she think it will it still builds her character.
