A Totally Awkward Love Story by Tom Ellen, Lucy Ivison
3.0
3.5/5 stars
Well this was a very interesting read. This story is about an 18 year old girl named Hannah and a 17 year old boy named Sam. It's pretty much a story about their life as they finish high school. It takes them and their friends on some fun adventures during the summer before going away to college. Hannah and Sam keep bumping into each other in totally awkward situations. The book was so funny and just a fast, fun read. I thought the characters were so quirky and weird but it really added to the story. It was interesting because this book is categorized as a young adult book, but the language was strong in terms of cursing and there was some sexual content. Practically half he book is spent talking about sex!! But to be honest it felt true. A group of 17-18 year old boys and girls?? Of course they are cursing and having sex! It was just hilarious to see. The party scenes are realistic for the age of the character so I liked that. Most YA contemporaries just seem so cliche and fake to me. The beginning was a little boring and hard to get into but it did get a lot better throughout. There is something that happens near the end that I just found so pointless and did not add to the story, but other than that I didn't find anything else wrong. This book was good, but not great. It did not WOW me in anyway. In my opinion this was just a fun read that you could fly through, but there's just not much to it so if your looking for some mindless entertainment check this out.
