This falls around a 3.5 for me.Full review on allromancereviews.comMICHELLE'S REVIEWLet me start this review by saying this is a great book and an interesting story. It did remind me of some other books but it held it's own.This book was realistic in a lot of ways. For one thing- the characters acted and spoke their age. At first this was difficult for me because 18 and 20 year olds aren't often very mature and their dialogue followed that- almost too well. But in the end, it really worked because the characters were believable.Another thing that I really liked was the emotion behind some of the scenes, especially between James and his mom. I was definitely emotional after that whole episode.I really liked Lola and James as characters. I did have some trouble imagining two best friends that were that attracted to each other and who had fooled around even if just a little still trying to defend being "just friends" but that again goes back to the realism of their characters. At their age it would be believable that they would have problems admitting their feelings or even putting a label on it. And even more believable is that Lola would have a better grasp of what was happening than James.I kind of liked that Lola spends a lot of time talking herself out of her feelings with James. You know we've all done that at some point.
