About 1800 locations - worth the $1.99 I paid. Have paid more for same length.I saw this book had a decent number of reviews, so I decided to check it out. The sample was short, but enough to make me want to read it. I also went to the author's site and found out the story & title were inspired by the Muse song, 'Unintended'. (Love Muse and that song by the way! Thank you Twilight for introducing them to me)The story is about two high school seniors who meet when Alex moves into town and hosts a party at the suggestion of his parents who want him to make friends. Alex is really shy though and making friends is hard for him, especially since his family moves a lot because of his dad's job. Taylor stumbles into Alex's room looking for a bathroom and the rest as they say is history.I recommend this book if you are looking for a light read about recognizing your soul mate at first sight kind of story. There is 'making love', but not what I call erotica so you should look elsewhere for that. It's a coming of age/coming out theme, but mostly it is a nice little romance with a bit of drama of course.The story alternates between the present (guys are 28) and the past (guys are 18).The only negative is the structuring of paragraphs with the dialogue. There was no separation. You have to pay attention to who is saying what most of the time. I personally didn't have trouble keeping things straight (no pun intended), but for some it might be confusing or even annoying.I also recommend her book "Things I'll Never Say" --- (same price) it is similar in style to this one except paragraph structuring was a lot better.Visit her site for some free reads... I really liked the one called Prince Charming.
