This is the best book I've ever read! I connect, personally, to this book so much. It was one of those books where you read the first two chapters and you CAN'T put down! I read the second chapter and I was hooked! I couldn't stop reading for anything! So, be prepaired! Once you start this book, you cant stop!

I really enjoyed this book. It's a quick read and it's really cute overall. The story is told from alternating perspectives, which I really enjoyed. Just beware because the book has a lot more to do with sex than one might expect from the totally adorable cover, and on some occassions (particularly from the guy's perspective) some comments are made that are kind of vulgar and innapropriate. Most of it is pretty innocent and there is nothing graphic, but I found myself a little taken aback by some of the comments the boys made, and I'm 23, lol.

My Thoughts: This has been on my TBR pile for a while now. I bought it off amazon a while ago. It was one of my guilty pleasure reads, you know one of those books you bought for a rainy day where you want to snuggle with it and read over a cup of hot cocoa. I started it and read it in one sitting! We meet Sara who is a beautiful next door type. She used to go out with Scott and is now interested in Dave, the popular jock. Tobey also catches her eye. Tobey is somewhat of a loner who used to date Cynthia but really wants to be with Sara. In his eyes, she is the perfect girl for him. But Sara is going out with Dave now, so how can Sara possible like him? There are the side characters, Tobey's best friends and Sara's best friends. I loved this book. There were a few lines that were somewhat graphic that I loved! They made me smirk. They made me laugh out loud! Also, there was a part about Tobey falling up the stars. That reminded me of myself, something I could see happening to me. This book was cute, fun, full of romance, and a perfect read in my eyes!! It also switches between Tobey and Sara's point of view. Sometimes that bothers me in books but not Susane's! I love knowing what the characters are feeling. If you haven't read this, order it from amazon right now!!!

Overall: Loved it plain and simple. Will be going on my keeper shelf.

Cover: Love the cover. It fits the book and is so cute! Love the way we can't see their faces but can see Tobey's guitar.

This book was boring for a while. I think it didn't get interesting until halfway through it. There was a lot of language which was boring. I could relate a little to the book since I too grew up in NJ and fell in love in high school. At the same time I really am tired with reading about people having sex, but at least this one made it more realistic of how a girl would feel if her boyfriend has already been with someone else and you are a virgin. I just really think it isn't worth reading since there is nothing that truly stands out about it.
