Well, my my my...a new adult romance told from the male perspective?  Before I even read the first sentence to this book, that fact had me intrigued.  I mean, let's face it - there are a lot of books out there that just seem to melt together into an indistinguishable mass.  "Lovely" sets itself apart for many reasons, my favorite being the point of view from which it is told.This is the story of Ashton Taylor.  He's the golden boy; the kind of guy that everything seems to come easy to.  Until he loses his father, and it produces a crack in his perfect world.  I really felt sorry for Ash, because he seems so perfect and is truly a good person, but I don't think anyone really sees him for who he really is...until Cara.Cara, I friggin' loved.  She's a deep character, but sad.  She hides behind big glasses and long hair, but something comes out in her as her relationship with Ash develops.  Not to mention, this is the kind of book where the reader can actually almost feel the feelings growing between the main characters.  There is excellent tension, and that's one of my personal favorite things in a book!  Their relationship is really something touching, and beautiful to read about.  They see each other, which is all everyone really wants in a partner.Another thing that sets this book apart from anything I've read lately is the way it's written, and the way in which the characters connect, through poetry.  That was really original, I thought.  Plus, the story is written so incredibly well and has such a flow to it, you just can't put it down.  I just thought this was a great story, and I am a new fan of this author.  I will read anything she releases in the future!  5 stars!
