I've been in this teen-chick-flick-rom-com mood lately (I've been binging Miss Congeniality 1 & 2, the A Cinderella Story franchise, Valley Girl etc.), but I realized that I hadn't picked up a really good YA contemporary romance in a while, so why just reread one? And I'll be honest, I wasn't sure if I'd enjoy this as much as when I first read it, especially after having read nearly all of Kasie West's other books. I'm really happy to say that this was, and is a great romantic story, with no shortage of cuteness, and some decent lessons about life. I'll always love the way it handles bottling up your emotions, and feeling afraid to show people the true you, even four years after I first read it, it still rings so true for me.

“I like it when you're not perfect.”

This book was my first Kasie West, and it introduced me to one of my favorite authors. I love how she writes such sweet and heartwarming romances, but none of them feel like the same story with just a different coat of paint. This one is no exception, it's great and I recommend it to all fans of the genre.
