I liked it but I felt the relationship between Lou and Jack was too rushed. I mean, they got married so soon afterwards. :\ Sure they've been through a lot together but they weren't in a relationship. They had lots of sexual tension but sexual isn't the same as love. The intense scenes were hot and steamy but the story seemed too far-fetched to me. I did enjoy reading it though, it's great if you're in need of some adventure and romance. I was a little iffy with Eleanor and Frank's relationship though. All-in-all, it was alright. Nothing I'd reread though.

Ugh, Meg. I most definitely have a love/hate relationship with her books.

She Went All the Way was an okay book. In it, you will meet Lou and Jack. Eh, they weren't my favorite characters to like or even ship. I honestly didn't even try to get invested in them because they easily annoyed and frustrated me in the beginning.

It also doesn't help that not a lot happens in this book. Or if something did happen, I felt nothing for it. At one point, I had to somehow motivate me to finish this book because I just didn't want to be quitter and dnf it. Of course, I came close but then I saw how close I was to finishing and somehow got to the end.

Oh, that last page was completely beautiful. I felt like I ran a marathon or two. I was done. Finally.

Publisher's Weekly was quoted on the back cover of this book as saying it was "fun." I couldn't agree more. A screenwriter and the actor she's at odds with get stranded in the Alaskan wilderness after their helicopter is chopped down. Is it any surprise that their verbal sparring eventually leads them to true love? Of course not. But Meg Cabot has a way of taking the predictable and making it, well, fun. Even though the plot line was borderline ridiculous and the ending wrapped up too neatly, Cabot does a good job of transporting readers --my opinion of exactly what a good book should do. I don't imagine I'll remember this book in a year or so, but it was enjoyable and entertaining while I read it. Plus Cabot can successfully write love scenes that don't make me litereally "LOL" like a lot of the typical romance novels do. While this certainly isn't great literature, if you're looking for a little escapism from the real world, then you'll probably like this. I give it a B--.

From another author this might be a three star, but the busy plot and plethora of perspectives didn't play to Cabot's core strengths. Not a bad read, but I'd recommend any of the "Boy" or "Size" series over this one. Her author voice (which is brilliant) is stronger in other works.
