Review: wished it was a full length book
Rating: 4 out of 5

I'll be honest, I'm not a big fan of novellas in general, even if they're really well written. I tend to feel like I'm just getting into liking the characters and stories right before it ends and I always end up feeling a bit let down and wanting more. That said, while the storyline as a whole might be more on par with a 3-star rating, I'm giving it 4 because so so many novellas are just terrible and Kate Donovan really did do a good job creating a pretty good one (it's just my personal preference that I would have rather it been a full length book). The blogger aspect of the storyline was fresh and unique, and really the best part of the novella - they were cute and funny. It was also refreshing, especially as a novella, to not have any sex it in - too often novellas come off as nothing more than erotica because the author fits the same number of sex scenes from a 300 page book into 75 pages. Kate Donovan actually creates a real budding relationship between Jake and Sophie that the reader can believe rather than the stereotypical fall into bed together for 95% of the story, all of a sudden they're madly in love even though one or both swore they would never love - and everyone lives happily ever after.
