Its always nice when being a cover lover pays off. Yes, I signed up for this tour because of the cover. I skimmed the blurb :D. What can I say I like to live on the wild side.The cover is not an accurate portrayal of Dani but really who cares! Okay I kinda cared only because she owned who she was! Dani. Is. Awesome. Shes smart and witty and fecked up. She was completely relatable, refreshing and real!!!! Thank you Stacey!!! Dani was as I just stated was a refreshing break from a lot of the MCs ive been reading lately. Either they are drop dead gorgeous and know it or don't and refuse to admit to themselves they arent hard on the eyes. Sure Dani finds herself to be plain but shes not CONSTANTLY doubting yourself. Shes real. Although she doesfear that her string of one night stands is some evidence of what shes lacking. UNTIL, oh yes I said until Liam convinces her shes prefect and lovable the way she is.Now, lets talk Liam shall we. Liam is a hottie Dani meets the first day of a new semester at U of O (Go Ducks!). Dani recently changed majors and begins taking acting classes. Liam is a perfect match for Dani. He matches her quip for quip. Hes also pretty smart. PLUS theres something about him that makes Dani feel safe, she opens up about her past and they really connect. You cannot help but root for them. Which is kinda hard sometimes because you really dont know what Liams secret is. I mean there are times it doesnt look good.You have no idea how difficult this review is to write because I want with EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING TO SPILL THE BEANS! But im reigning myself in -sigh-Crossing was completely original to me and I swear im not blowing smoke up your rump. And if that isnt enough for you its brilliantly written. Before writing my review I ran over to goodreads, I was extremely curious to see how other people handled their reviews. Did they spill the beans? Did they love the book as much as I did?! No they didnt and yes they did! You see spoilers would totally suck. I want you to go out and purchase the book, then purchase the book for a friend and then request that your local library purchase the a copy for their collection. Oh snap, I got sidetracked. Oh yea there was a common theme I noticed in other reviews was everyone seemed to find some aspect of Dani that they found relatable. Also Stacey is basically a badass. I couldnt agree more.Another delightful tidbit. Stacey is Dani! Well kinda. And Liam is based off of her first boyfriend with embellishments.
