Review: Love the Quirky Cast!

Every so often, everyone needs a little taste of small town sweetness, and this book definitely has it.  As I'm from a small town myself, I can easily understand how quickly the rumour mill can pump out information that you would normally never want someone to know, so I found the insane speed that the town learned all about anything that Ivy and Marcus were up to, strangely easily believable.  I can remember a few times in my past where I wasn't even able to get all the way home before my family had already heard all about my day's adventures, so seeing this small town in action really made me feel a bit homesick for my own small town.As far as the characters went, this book has a fantastic cast.  Not only are Ivy and Marcus well developed and easy to root for, I found favourites in some of the oddest places.  Ivy's grandmother!  Wow, is that lady a firecracker!  I absolutely loved her grandmother and all her foul-mouthed quirkiness.  I also found Preston strangely appealing.  Even with his priviledged attitude, it seemed as if there was a little bit more behind his story that just wasn't yet told.  Out of everyone, I really hope to read more about Preston, if nothing else but to crack his elitist attitude.The story line in this book is solid, and as many other Entangled books, has a feeling as if this story could actually happen.  This is a quality that I look forward to whenever I pick up an Entangled book, and I was not disappointed.  The characters are normal people.  They have normal problems, and they have their flaws, just as we all do.Overall, this is book is a fun contemporary romance that I would recommend to any of my romantic readers.Note:  I received a free copy of this book for honest review.
