Bon petit roman. J'ai eu peur au départ qu'on tombe dans les scènes sexuelles de manière exagérée et j'ai appréhendé un peu la suite parce que ça avait l'air d'un livre typique du gars qui se tappe toutes les filles de l'univers pour compenser le fait qu'il ne peut pas avoir la seule fille qui lui résiste, ici sa meilleure amie vierge. Finalement, l'historique des personnages était beaucoup plus profond et la relation entre eux beaucoup plus intense et importante que seulement une attirance sexuelle. J'ai bien aimé. Ça se lit bien et se n'est pas trop stéréotypé. Je l'ai peut-être lu en hiver, mais je le conseillerais comme une lecture d'été :P

I loved this story. The characters are vividly written and beautifully flawed. Romantic, yet not sappy, childish or overly sexual. My only complaint - too short - althouh perhaps that what kept me so enamoured. I believe there is a second book being released - I will read it for sure!
This was a reread for me, along with The Coincidence of Callie and Kayden also by Jessica Sorensen. This book is so good, I'm not sure that I can out it into words. I love Micha so much, which seems to be a trend with male characters written by Jessica Sorensen. He is the sweet and romantic bad boy that you just can't help but to love and his dedication to Ella is so sweet. There were a few things that I wasn't sure about or that just kind of annoyed me but I definitely would love to continue on with this series and I think I might pick up some of Jessica's other books as well.
Jessica Sorensen is an author to add to your list, she is incredibly talented and her gift of capturing human emotion and expressing it to the reader just blew me away. From the very first pages, I felt Ella's raw emotions and fears. This is a touching novel of a girl who fears becoming her mother. Who falls in love with the boy next door; the same boy who has been her friend since she was a child. She is a young woman afraid of feeling too much, of letting go and living. It's the story of a boy, now a young man who loves the girl next door; it is a powerful love that consumes him. He fears for her, wants to protect her and above all things wants to see her happy. I fell in love with these broken characters, I felt their emotions and could not put this book down. I cannot wait for the next book in this series.
So what was the secret? That they liked each other all along? Because that would have been the worst kept secret of any shitty New Adult book I have ever read. Was it the fact they kept secrets from each other? Because that didn't really last very long.
This story was absolutely so bad that I almost DNF, and it takes a really, really awful book for me to even consider not continuing. I mean, I'm the girl who's read all of Abbi Gline's books out of a sick masochistic pleasure. This wasn't even so bad it's entertaining, it was just plain bad. There was no character development beyond how their clothes changed with their state of mind, the only parental presence was a burden or useless and characters did things without rational logic to explain for their actions. Worst of all, there was ABSOLUTELY NO STORY! Worse than Sorensen's other book, or all of Gline's or KA Tucker or ANY OTHER SHITTY HIGHLY REVIEWED AUTHOR ON GOODREADS. This author takes the goddamn cake for writing thousands of words without themes, symbolism, plot or even well-written sex. It was awkward as fuck.
I started reading the second one because I had it on my Kindle, but I'll probably just look up the rest. I'm at 25% and they've already broken up for no reason and are on the brink of fixing that so it seems like there's no overarching conflict to deal with AGAIN.
Pure. Garbage.

I love Jessica's books, but sadly this one didn't do it for me. I felt like I was thrown into a story and was missing on something. I actually went to check if this really was the first book.

Ugh. I think I am in book funk, for many years now I have seen this book circulate on the popular book list and great NA reads and I finally broke down and read it. I decided to start with the prelude before this which I enjoyed very much, and was actually very excited for this book. Look don't get me wrong I liked it, really I did. But something was missing for me (again this could very well just have to do with the book funk I'm in) maybe it has to do with the heroine and how she just constantly ran from her problems or something else, I don't know. I am going to cut this review short and just say that while it was a good book it wasn't mind blowing or anything different. I also probably will not continue or pick up the next book until I can manage to pull myself out of my book slump and give it a fair shot.

Its not bad, its not overly good. Nothing special to it really. I love the concept of letting yourself fall for the one you have known all your life. Of how easy it can be to try and run away from your problems and the strength it takes to go back and fight your way through them and learn that its okay not to be perfect and be yourself. It is quite a cliche type of book with the guy chasing after the damaged girl he has loved forever all the while enjoying the company of other girls for fun. So all and all it was an alright read that doesn't really bring anything new to the genre.
