Review: Standard Cliché Story-line, But I Still Enjoyed It

While I liked this book, I really didn't think it was anything to write home about. It follows one of your standard cliché story-line of a boy and a girl who used to be friends who had a falling out. Years later they are on different rings of the social ladder. Ashton is at the top, while Luca is not. Unfortunately for Ashton, she tumbles down the ladder. In an effort to get back on top, she makes a deal with her old friend Luca (who recently changed his appearance, who knew he was so HOT?) to pretend to date. This whole setup or similar setups have been done over and over. Of course, the deal doesn't go as planned and everyone learns a life lesson or two.Now that the whole setup is taken care of...I did like both of the main characters. You follow BOTH Ashton and Luca' POVs. I like that you get to see what each of the characters are thinking. I liked the overall feel of the book as well. Towards the beginning whenever the characters were giving their inner thoughts, I almost felt like I was watching a reality TV show or documentary, where the person is sitting in front of the camera and directly talking to the audience.I might recommend this to someone looking for a nice, quick, easy chick lit type of read.
