Review: Chloe & Noah
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 05 29, 2014
A sweet story about friends turned to love- with a few twists.Noah is a rocker- recent winner of a TV talent show. He’s been best friends with Chloe since they were 5 and 6.Chloe is a photographer-ready to leave her small town and work in NYC.Some truly fantastic song lyrics throughout the book!The social media and all of its silliness was an interesting side story, but perhaps not played out as much as it could’ve been….They’ve always been there for each other.  Unfortunately they can’t tell each other the most important thing- how they feel about each other. This is where my frustration begins. EVERY ONE else sees the draw, the connection and the love.  EVERY ONE, even Chloe’s loser ex.  The angst makes no sense.  Even after they have a moment (or hours) they can’t admit what they are to each other.  There are looks, sighs, private jokes and sweet nicknames and so many memories.  They are made for each other!Most of the time I wanted to smack Chloe- her naiveté didn’t feel genuine.Noah was a pain also.  Thinking with his little head more often than not, and letting others make all of his decisions.Having dual POV is one the things that saved this book for me.  The insight helped the connection to the characters become stronger.The never being in the right place at the right time TOGETHER was also frustrating.  Knowing what both of the characters have been through I would’ve expected more maturity from them.  While I liked Noah’s voice from the start, Chloe was a hard sell for me.The drama of the stalker and the accident- all seemed thrown in, not well integrated into the story.Overall a sweet romance-sorta, with a little bit of mystery and drama-kinda.
