Easy read, little to no plot and flat characters. Typical ending with the characters' drama wrapped up with a bow. Entertaining enough for a beach read, I suppose.

This book was sweet and funny at the same time. The dialogue in it was awesome. I loved how real the characters were. The banter was amazing.
Matty was a true "good guy". Shelley was damaged, but not ruined by a relationship gone bad. It was a story of two people that were meant to be finding out how to be together.
The supporting characters were wonderful as well. I really want to read more about Mel's story!

Against the Wall was a really cute book. I can relate to Shelly and I loved her friendship with Mel. It reminded me of how me and my friends act around each other. I did think that it ended too neat. I wasn't a huge fan of the writing, but overall it was a cute easy read.

Cute and quick!
This was a cute and quick love story. This is for adults due to content and language but it was a fast read.

The only part of the book I really liked was that the female character based her dating decisions on what kind of beer the man drank. That was the only "unique" thing about this whole book, the rest was blah.

Oh Dios mio.
Este libro estaba gratis en Amazon, y entiendo porque, lo que no entiendo son los miles de reviews tan buenos para este libro, pero supongo que cada quien con su gusto. En fin, la historia se me hizo tan ridicula que no se ni por donde empezar...
Todos son profesores aqui, y supuestamente estan en sus 30, HAHAHAHA NO. Todos actuan como adolescentes, o mejor dicho casi caricaturas (INCLUSO, yo leo MUCHO Young Adult, y en ningun libro de YA he leido de adolescentes que actuen asi, asi que imaginense). Ademas de que trabajo con profesores, y en mi vida he conocido a profesionales que actuen de esta manera, NO PUEDO.
Me molestaron tantas cosas (slut-shaming, el lenguaje "moderno", el IDIOTA de Chase, etc), pero creo que mas que nada lo pushy que era Matty (love interest) con Shelly (protagonista), y que en la historia lo describen como "seguro de que ella se enamorara de el". Just...NO.
Gran parte de este libro me lo salte para ver como terminaba y ya. Y no acostumbro a saltarme partes de los libros, asi que con eso lo digo todo.

This book had the potential to be really great, in a simple, chick-lit-y kind of way. In theory the story was really good, I mean as good as "Am I really in love with my best friend or is it just a rebound after my failed engagement?" can get. In execution, well, not so much. I'm not sure if there was a breakdown in the editing process or what, but there were typos galore. Shel got her HEA as I assumed but I couldn't really give it more than one star because the writing(and some of the phrasing that I do not believe anyone actually uses - such as "girl parts" and "man parts") was just so sub-par.
The book was free on Amazon as a Kindle edition so I guess you get what you pay for...
