Here's the deal. There is A LOT of YA books out there now. Lot's of zombies and vampires and love triangles and on and on and on. And tons of novellas. Which I find annoying. Because they just don't seem to GET IT. I need just enough to sink my teeth into or to push the story along. Rachel Higginson TOTALLY gets it.I didn't expect much of this book honestly. My bestie had read it and couldn't stop raving and I need something quick so I thought, "Meh, why not?". I started and finished it at the gym. Yup, totally sucked in. I feel like Rachel writes like I would talk. I can see and hear these conversations. Reagan is strong without being obnoxious. She isn't the typical "I'm-so-beautiful-with-my-flowing-blonde-hair-but-just-think-I'm-so-plain-despite-the-fact-I'm-a-supermodel" girl. Those ones REALLY annoy me. The Parker brothers are adorable and awesome. I'm personally Team Hendrix. I feel like I could ramble on FOREVER about this and it is just a novella! Run, don't walk to grab this book. For reals. You won't regret. Rachel, I'm officially your biggest fan. Thank you for FINALLY writing a novella that doesn't suck and a story that I'm dying to follow along with.
