Review: Cute Story
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 01 20, 2013
My Rating: 3.5 starsLoving Lily Lavender was a cute story that had me grinning and at times groaning.What I loved:  The thing that pulled me into this book was the romance.  Lucas and Lily are such a sweet couple and watching their romance blossom into a fairy tale love was wonderful.  Ifm a sucker for that cheesy, giggly, first love kind of romance, and this book gives you exactly that.What I liked: I really liked the characters.  They were all well-developed and very likable, each one with their own unique personalities.  Lucas and Lily were perfect, and they kept me invested until the end.What drove me crazy:  All the near-death experiences drove me batty.  They just sort of happen and then are resolved quickly, and we move right into the next one.  I think it would have been more interesting if they were weaved together but what we get is conflict then resolution, then conflict then resolution, etc.  For me, the major action felt underdeveloped and was resolved way too quickly.My overall thoughts:  In the end, I really struggled with this book bouncing from a 3 to a 4 star rating.  But even with the action drawbacks, I loved the romance, and I just couldn't get that prefect love out of my mind.  If you are looking for an easy and cute read with a wonderful love story, I would recommend this one.
