I got this book as a Kindle freebie and found it to be an engaging, well-written story that's a delightful and diverting reading experience. The author's introduction candidly admits the work started with a brief to be a piece of hardcore erotica but evolved into something more humanly meaningful: and that it does - the characters are superbly "relatable" and have oodles of everyday credibility. Interactions between protagonists Jason and Samantha are beautiful, sensitive and memorable.For a young adult reader, I bet there will be "ah-ha" moments a-plenty and an added benefit for males in this demographic might be a mellowing of attitude as regards affection and devotion towards women since Jason and Sam's relationship is pure and giving at all levels and worthy of emulation.  For older readers, well let's say this book will probably create two reactions: first, one of "If only I were 18 again, how differently I would interacted with members of the opposite sex" and, secondly the story reminds us of how important it is to be less self-absorbed and to recognize who we might include in our lives and to thereby mutually enrich them.The overall plot is simplicity itself and runs along easy "teen sitcom" lines. Sex scenes are prolific and crafted at a top-shelf quality level.  Nothing to quibble about in these corners in my opinion.Overall: Highly recommended - especially as you get a full-length novella for [in my case] $0.00.Note: Pick up Amulet 2 at the same time - Jason and Sam's saga continues therein....
