Review: Admirable attempt, so-so results.

I admire Ms. Johnson's courage in putting an entire YA romance into verse. Fans of Colleen Hoover will probably love this story; the level of intensity remains high throughout and a mystery of sorts (why, oh why, can't the hero and heroine be together if they so obviously love one another?) stays unrevealed until close to the end. It left me relatively unmoved, though. What romantic-at-heart hasn't had an elevator fantasy? Sadly, this is not how mine would play out.
