The short version is that I loved this book, the long version is a bit more in-depth. Some authors are great at writing characters, others captivate you with their plots, and some are words smith writing so eloquently that at times you simply have to put the book down for a moment to digest. Lucky for us readers Sommer Marsden has all of those qualities in spades. She can turn the simple into the profound with just a few words, her characters have more depth than some actual people I've met, as for the plot girl meets boy and falls in love might be simple but it is never boring or :shudders: cliché.I'm sure that most people will focus on Clover and Dorian and their somewhat stormy (pun intended)relationship. But I would like to take a moment to acknowledge the great supporting characters: Mario is fun, and he cares so much about Clover it makes you care about her to even before you get a chance to really know her. As for Mr. Voorhees, well even his name is pretentious, we don't really seen him in the book other than a phone call in the beginning, but for such a small part to play he is a very pivotal character. Without him Clover and Dorian would never have been stranded alone, things would have gone very differently. So as much as I like to dislike Mr.Voorheers, without him  this story would have never happened.Now onto Clover, who is always waiting for the other shoe to drop, some people may fault her for this, but I get it, especially with her backstory. In her case it is much easier to trust the charming rich man with her body than with her heart. As for Dorian, I love Dorian, he has spent his entire life disappointing everyone. I think it got to the point where it became sort of a self fulfilling prophecy. He knew no matter what he did he was going to disappoint everyone so he might as well do everything he could give them something to disapprove of. When his father died he realized his actions weren't making anyone happy including him, so he changed. He might not get to be happy but he could try to make his mother happy. Then Dorian meets Clover, and his world is turned upside down again, he meets the one woman who he not only wants to make happy, but also the one who could make him happy, and she keeps running away from him.All in all Lost in you is a great read full of quirky characters, all to human foibles, and some very sexy sex.
