**May Contain Spoilers**Bryn is 19 and she just transfered to OSU. She has always thought of herself as being plain and shunned; lets just say she is blind on this subject. One day Bryn is asked to give a tour to a new student, whom she immediately dislikes assuming he is like everyother hot jock running around. When William and Bryn touch they both feel the electricty flow through them. After an accidental attempted suicide, Bryn is brought into William's world and within it, she is a shining star. Unfortunately, not all love stories end in a happily ever after and Bryn and William must fight for what they want, eachother, forever.I read the 1 star reviews first before purchasing this book. I like to see what people are complaining about before I purchase a book. Seeing as there are 6- 1 star reviews for this book, I felt I hit the gold mine! Anyways, some of the reviews said this book was a Twilight rip off, some said Bryn was so annoying because its obvious how beautiful she is, but she always puts herself down. Lets start with this accusation first: There are MANY beautiful girls who feel they are plain, too skinny (boney) and that they are only getting attention from the basketball star because they are a brunt of some joke. This also describes Bryn. She is sporty, she keeps to herself and she has some real issues she is dealing with. Possibly in the begining this was slightly annoying, but not so much that I would dock the book a star just because of it. Now the 2nd point regarding this book being like Twilight, well, maybe there are some Twilightesque moments in the book, but really only within the first 20% of the book.What was great about this book, is that the author explained why the 2 main character's are true "soul mates". I have read the "Fallen Series" and am mighty aggitated as I have read 3 of the books and still do not know why the main character's are so drawn to eachother. Sorry for the rant, anyways, Bryn and William's story is very cute, the author really knows how to right about passion between two people who are in love. Although the 2 fall for eachother rather quickly, but after reading the story, you'll know why. They are their own opposite's and you know what they say about that...I really loved this story. I purchased the 2nd book 20% into this story, that is how much I enjoyed it. Word of caution though, do NOT compare ANY books to Twilight, it will dissapoint you if you do. I felt some of the moments in the book, but was HIGHLY delighted about the differences between the stories.I recommend this story to others. I was intrigued by this story. Give it a try, why not for $.99! :)
