Review:
This book was AMAZING! Really anything by Kasie West that I’ve
read so far has been amazing. We meet a
group of characters who are memorable and the plot was something out of
dreams. It was super cute, adorable, and
loveable and I just connected with everyone in this book. It takes a real special skill to make that
connection between reader and characters, it’s a beautiful thing.
We meet quirky, crazy hair, big family Lily who is trying to
get over her boredom in chemistry. It’s
a tough class, I remember but I loved it.
For Lily, not so much so be it a surprise for her when she writes something
on a desk and someone writes back. In
comes the beginning of a wonderful story. The mystery of having someone you don’t know
write to you and you get to know someone without any pretenses. Words are very magical and when you don’t know
who is reading them you tend to be as honest and as real as you possibly
can. This is what brings Lily and her
Chemistry pen pal together.
The other characters in the book are her best friend Isobel
who is constantly trying to get her to like someone so they can both be
happy. Sometimes it’s not about being
with someone that makes you happy but being with the right person. There is one person they both have in common,
Isobel’s ex. Cade Jennings. He is Lily’s
enemy, they constantly fight with one another.
I don’t call that hate I call that passion.
Each and every character has their own issues and it’s just
fun living in their lives with them. I felt
for every character. Throughout the book
I cried, I laughed, I smiled, I frowned, I had butterflies, and hopes, there
were just so many emotions I went through and they all helped make this book
absolutely perfect. The writing really
captivates you and you can’t help but get sucked into the world that you are
reading. The characters are so vibrant,
unique and personable.
I really don’t want to say too much about this book away
because I don’t want to give anything away.
I just know that I loved it from beginning to end, you will be
hooked. It was a quick and fun read that
you couldn’t help but enjoy. Family,
friends, enemies and school what better characters and settings can you
have. Great contemporary by Kasie West,
she is a wonderful writer and all her books are just marvelous. Go read this if you haven’t already!
